Symmetry is a monthly peer-reviewed open access scientific journal published by MDPI covering several aspects of theories and applications related to symmetry/asymmetry phenomena in the natural sciences. The journal was established in 2009 and the editor-in-chief is Sergei Odintsov (Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies). The journal features occasional special issues on specific selected topics.[1]
The journal is abstracted and indexed in:According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 2.7.[2]
Since 2018, the journal confers a "young investigator award" in recognition of excellence in the fields of symmetry phenomena in the natural sciences. The award consists of 2000 Swiss francs, an offer to publish a paper free of charge following peer review, and an engraved plaque. The journal also confers various other awards, typically on a yearly basis,[3] and chooses a small number of articles judged to be of particular interest or importance to the field, which are selected as "Editor's Choice".[4]
