Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Participants in this conference are invited to contribute a full manuscript to our Special Issue, entitled "Selected Papers: 3rd TOPAC: Topics of Particle, Astro and Cosmo Frontiers", in the journal Symmetry.
The 3rd TOPAC: Topics of Particle Physics, Astro and Cosmo Frontiers will be held in Guangzhou from June 6 to 9, 2025. (https://indico-tdli.sjtu.edu.cn/event/3993/)
Unprecedented high-energy collision data, more precise particle physics measurements, escalating astronomical and cosmological observations, and rapidly accumulating gravitational wave observations have enhanced research in unexpected ways: new research topics and hotspots are emerging at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, which are gradually deepening our understanding of particle physics, astronomical observations, and the early universe. This conference will provide a platform for experts in related fields to interact with each other, discuss current research and possible future directions in-depth, and promote the development of relevant domestic research fields. The conference will cover various topics such as vitriol, neutrinos, dark matter, astrophysics, cosmology, and gravitational waves.
This Special Issue will be closely aligned with the themes of the conference.
Symmetry is indexed within Scopus, SCIE (Web of Science), CAPlus/SciFinder, Inspec, Astrophysics Data System, and other databases and has an Impact Factor of 2.2 and a 5-Year Impact Factor of 2.3.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
