Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Complex systems are of interest throughout the fields of applied mathematics, statistical physics and computational science. Many important complex systems exhibit symmetry, a mathematical principle or physical phenomenon that, in recent years, has attracted widespread attention from interdisciplinary researchers. We aim to solicit contributions to complex systems or symmetry from a variety of different fields, including mathematics, physics and social science.

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.
