Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This annual special issue on thermodynamics education invites contributions from both students and educators. Educators are invited to share innovative pedagogy in the field of thermodynamics in areas including: course design; design for diversity, equity, and inclusion; special contemporary topics; open-source computational tools and example applications; open-source media and web-based resources; instructional methods; classroom demonstrations; assessment tools; evidence-based advancements in learning outcomes; textbook reviews; new pedagogical challenges, problems, and exercises; pedagogical advice and perspectives; and others. Since educators are also frequently researchers, this issue also invites new perspectives on the application of thermodynamics in new research frontiers. Both undergraduate and graduate students are invited to share innovative reports from thermodynamics-related coursework and research projects. Student reports will be evaluated on project motivation, communication, and technical quality. The report clearly defines the purpose of the project, motivates interest in the subject, and accomplishes the goals of the project. The report communicates ideas and technical concepts clearly and succinctly without grammatical, mechanical, spelling, or logical flaws. The report has impressive depth and originality, all important concepts and details are covered to show thorough analysis and technical competence. Project reports are invited from student individuals and teams.

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. Thermo 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.
