Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geomagnetic storms, which cause a wide range of undesirable consequences, such as satellite system disruption, damage to ground-based electric power grids, and interruptions of high-frequency communications and satellite navigation systems, are primarily caused by the coupling of the southward interplanetary magnetic field and the magnetosphere. Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and stream interaction regions (SIRs) are the primary carriers of the intense south component of the interplanetary magnetic field and are thought to be the primary source of geomagnetic storms. The prediction of the southern magnetic field carried by ICMEs or SIRs and the magnitude of resulting geomagnetic storms are important topics in the space weather forecast. With this Special Issue, we aim to improve our space weather forecast ability.
The Special Issue is essential to fully comprehend space weather prediction, including CME dynamics, CME magnetic field evolution, and the solar origin of geomagnetic storms. We solicit papers include, but are not limited to, coronal mass ejections, stream interaction regions, the interplanetary southerly magnetic field carried by solar eruption transients, geomagnetic storms, and space weather forecast and modelling.

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.
