Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last couple of decades, we have witnessed remarkable success in experiments related to tests in the Standard Model. The flavor structures in the Standard Model and its neutrino extension, for example, the neutrino masses and mixing patterns, were measured with great precision and could carry the key information on the possible new physics beyond the Standard Model.
This Special Issue will concentrate on the origin of flavor structures in the Standard Model and beyond, emphasizing their connections to the new physics beyond the Standard Model and cosmology.
The Special Issue will cover the following topics: the flavor structure from various kinds of symmetries (discrete symmetry, global symmetry or modular symmetry etc.), prediction of the low-energy flavor structure from the Grand Unified Theory (GUT), flavor puzzles in B physics and in the leptonic sector, scotogenic models, origin of the baryon asymmetric in the universe, etc.

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.
