Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Universe from MDPI is dedicated to analysis techniques used in particle collision experiments (e+e-, ep, pp, and heavy ions) that establish quantum chromodynamics (QCD) as a theory of strong interactions. The main topics cover the precision measurements of hadronic jets, forward jet physics, boosted jets and jet substructures, event shapes, event flows, studies of parton density functions, hadronic structure, measurements of the strong coupling constant, particle production, heavy flavour, and particle spectroscopy. Proposals for novel observables that can verify QCD and constrain its parameters beyond the already achieved precision are partcularly welcome. Tools and algorithms used for QCD measurements, such as jet clustering algorithms, track and particle-flow reconstruction, and methods based on machine learning techniques will also be covered.

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.
