Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Decades have passed since the birth of the problem of quantizing gravitational interaction, and several models have been accumulated in this search. Many of these approaches share as a common point the emergence of departures of relativistic results at the quantum gravity (supposedly Planckian) scale. This feature and technological advances that allowed, with the presence of amplifiers, the scrutiny of such corrections with current (or near-future) experiments giving rise to the phenomenological approach to quantum gravity that is currently being used to constrain and even discard sets of deformations which are mathematically described by different effective proposals.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers representing both original works and reviews on the effects of proposals inspired by quantum gravity phenomenology on observables that may be originated from astrophysical sources and involving different kinds of cosmic messengers, as well as those performable in the lab and in accelerators. We also invite contributions on the development of effective theoretical approaches, such as the use of non-Riemannian geometries or deformed algebras of spacetime or momentum space, Planck-scale corrections of quantum mechanics, among others.

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. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. 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.
