Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar physics is experiencing rapid progress driven by advances in observations, theory, and numerical modeling. New ground-based facilities and space missions provide high-resolution, multi-wavelength remote-sensing observations, complemented by in-situ measurements throughout the heliosphere. Together, these datasets enable unprecedented studies of solar eruptions, energetic particles, and their coupling to the heliosphere and space weather. This Special Issue of Symmetry welcomes original research and review articles on recent advances and future prospects in solar physics, including observational studies from ground-based and space-borne instruments, theoretical developments in solar and heliospheric plasma processes, and numerical simulations of eruptions, shocks, and energetic particle acceleration and transport. Contributions that integrate observations, theory, and simulations, or that address symmetry and asymmetry in solar and plasma phenomena, are particularly encouraged.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
