Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetric distributions are commonly employed in parametric statistical modeling for various applications, such as reliability and robustness analysis, due to their strong convergence to population distribution. However, many experimental datasets, particularly in financial contexts and reliability studies, require models with heavier or lighter tails than standard parametric families or a model featuring a tail cutoff. In these instances, asymmetric distributions including Laplace, exponential power, and Weibull distributions have gained increased attention. Therefore, we welcome submissions that emphasize the novel applications of symmetric and asymmetric distributions to address data analysis challenges in complex engineering problems within real-world contexts.

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.
