Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is intended as a natural extension of the previous Special Issues, entitled “Symmetric and Asymmetric Distributions: Theoretical Developments and Applications”, “Symmetric and Asymmetric Distributions: Theoretical Developments and Applications II”, and “Symmetric and Asymmetric Distributions: Theoretical Developments and Applications III”. In launching this Special Issue is the success achieved by the previous issues, which has contributed to increasing the catalogue of continuous and discrete, univariate and multivariate, distributions available in the statistical literature.
We would like to invite researchers in the statistical field to submit papers related to symmetric and asymmetric distributions. Undoubtedly, their field of application is extensive, covering disciplines in areas as diverse as the social sciences, medicine, applied physics, and a whole host of others. In turn, for each of these areas, the field of application is diverse, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary, allowing authors to modelling scenarios from areas as diverse as finance, economics, health economics, actuarial statistics, survival analysis, reliability, environmental sciences, climate change, sustainability, and many more besides.
Currently, the improvement of computational tools makes it possible to manage databases that just several decades prior were prohibitive, also allowing the use of special functions that, without computer processing, it would be impossible to implement in statistical models.
We encourage all researchers working in these areas and other fields to submit papers to be evaluated anonymously and possibly published in this prestigious and widely disseminated journal with wide dissemination in the field of statistics. In particularly, we are seeking to publih theoretical and practical contributions in which the use of probability distributions is fundamental and has demonstrated its usefulness as an unquestionable predictive tool.

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.
