Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
F(R) gravity plays a prominent role in the description of gravitational phenomena at large and astrophysical scales. Among the various modified gravity proposals, the F(R) gravity framework is the conceptually simplest generalization of Einstein's gravity, and has attracted the interest of many cosmologists. In this special issue, the focus will be on applications of F(R) gravity at large and astrophysical scales. We aim to highlight a plethora of theoretical proposals that find explanation in the context of F(R) gravity, both in cosmology and in astrophysics. In view of the current observational data and also due to the upcoming observations, this issue aims to gather all the up to date facts with regard to F(R) gravity applications. All the above problems maybe also be considered in frames of other modified gravities, like modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity, string-inspired theory, teleparallel gravity, Born-Infeld type gravity or non-minimal modified gravity.

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.
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.
