Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Active galaxies, which would include the active galactic nuclei (AGN), as well as the extragalactic jets which often attend them, are fascinating objects that tell us much about several different topics. Studying such active galaxies can tell us about the intergalactic medium, the nature of the jets themselves, galactic evolution, and even the state of the early universe, as we are observing here high redshift objects with large look-back times.
Much of the information to be gleaned is from different wavelengths, and, indeed, often is only understood when a multiwavelength campaign is initiated. Thus, collaboration with many others, over many wavelengths, is necessary. The wavelength coverage is often enormous, stretching from radio to very high energy TeV gamma radiation. Such spectral information is important in the understanding of the radiation mechanisms of the jets (typically synchrotron and inverse-Compton), and spectral ageing, as well as the location of instabilities and other morphologies of the accretion disk itself (through reverberation mapping and cross correlation of light curves over different wavelengths). In this Special Issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research or review articles on multiwavelength studies of active galaxies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Galaxies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
