Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxygen provides life, but as with anything else, in the wrong form, under the right conditions, it can be harmful. The problem of 'oxidative stress' is nothing new. Reactive oxygen species can wreak havoc on living organisms when exposed to elevated concentrations. Being aware of such threats to some extent, we can prevent or combat them by using newer techniques and therapeutic agents. The goal of this Special Issue is to identify novel compounds and innovative solutions to combat excess reactive oxygen species. Antioxidant properties are demonstrated not only by plant extracts and compounds of natural origin but also by a whole range of molecules obtained synthetically. The high diversity of ROS present in nature requires a differentiated approach to their elimination. In this Special Issue, we would like to bring together the latest news on reactive oxygen species, their mechanisms of action, harmful effects and new ways of combating them, molecules/extracts/compounds with antioxidant properties, and new potential therapeutic agents.

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. Oxygen is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
