This year we publish the tenth volume of Axioms (ISSN 2075-1680). It has been indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)—Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) recently in 2021. Our publishing company, MDPI, also marks its 25th anniversary this year. MDPI has over 4000 employees and is the 4th largest publisher of scholarly journals in the world.
Originally, I planned to be a research scientist during my life and wanted to mainly tackle the topics of entropy and symmetry theory. I had published a few papers on those topics about 25 years ago, with the first one being accepted in 1995 and appearing in 1996 [1]. I was preparing myself to set up an axiomatic formula of symmetry, entropy, information, structural stability and process spontaneity, which is similar to the axiomatic system of thermodynamics based on the laws of thermodynamics [2].
However, I could only manage to establish and expand the scholarly publishing project of MDPI and, among many other journals, I launched Entropy (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy), Symmetry (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry), Information (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information) and, of course, Axioms (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/axioms).
Axioms [3] was launched as a journal of mathematical physics and theoretical systems in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Prof. Dr. Angel Garrido was invited to be the founding Editor-in-Chief [3]. Since March 2016, Prof. Dr. Humberto Bustince has been serving as the journal’s Editor-in-Chief. We have published 663 articles so far [4].
