Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Editor-in-Chief of Symmetry, I am pleased to announce this Special Issue, entitled “Symmetry: Feature Papers 2026”. In recent years, we have collaborated with outstanding scholars and scientific groups and have published several important high-level studies that have already received numerous citations according to data from Web of Science. Our aim is to present new insights into scientific developments and cutting-edge technologies related to the field of symmetry that will make significant contributions to the research community. Accordingly, we will continue the “Symmetry: Feature Papers” Special Issue series in 2026.
You are welcome to submit short proposals for Feature Paper submissions to our Editorial Office (symmetry@mdpi.com) prior to full manuscript submission. After evaluation of the proposals, selected papers may be considered for publication free of charge.
All submissions will first be evaluated by our Editors. Please note that selected full papers will still be subject to thorough and rigorous peer review.
Prof. Dr. Sergei D. Odintsov
Guest Editor
