Learning and Evolution in Games, 1st Edition
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This issue aims to create a unique and innovative platform for diverse scientific submissions that may have been previously rejected by standard publishing networks or excluded from papers due to length restrictions.
We welcome papers, remarks on previously published works, generalizations, corrections, discussions on negative experimental outcomes, methodological observations, or fascinating excerpts from prior works. We particularly invite contributions discussing strategic interactions where agents deploy practical heuristics to understand their environment and the behavior of others, and how these learnings influence their actions. Submissions dealing with broad economic applications or biological applications, whether theoretical, applied, or experimental, are especially welcome.
We warmly invite authors to submit papers that have been rejected elsewhere. These resubmissions should include reviews from previous submissions, detailed edits made in response to those comments, and a declaration of honor confirming the authenticity and completeness of the provided reviews. We eagerly await your manuscript submissions for this Special Issue of Games.
Dr. Heinrich H. Nax
Prof. Dr. Yuval Heller

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. Games is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
