Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications (SIGMA)

Special Collections of Papers

Special Issues are journal overlays: every Special Issue paper is published in a regular volume and it simultaneously appears on the Special Issue web page. So each Special Issue is in some sense a subset of the regular volume, with papers numbered in the order of their acceptance.

The Special Issue papers are joined by their common topic and involvement in the review procedure of specially invited Guest Editors.
