Aims (old version):

Instruments (ISSN 2410-390X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to the design and applications of instruments, apparatuses, and experimental techniques in disciplinary and interdisciplinary research.

The journal aims at publishing high-quality scientific papers presenting ground-breaking and innovative results, as well as major achievements in the field of instrumentation and in the use of the related data.

It publishes regular research papers, communications, letters, short notes, and reviews. Our aim is to encourage researchers to publish their experimental, theoretical, and computational results in as much detail as necessary. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers.
