Women’s Special Issue Series: AppliedChem

Dear Colleagues,

In recognition of the significant contributions made by individuals who identify as women in applied chemistry, we are launching a Special Issue titled “Women’s Special Issue Series: AppliedChem”. This Special Issue will feature innovative research led by women scientists from around the world. Our aim is to honor and promote their scientific achievements while fostering a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive research environment.

We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, and short communications across all areas of applied chemistry. While we particularly encourage contributions where the lead author or key contributors identify as women, submissions are open to researchers of all genders. This Special Issue seeks to provide a platform that recognizes and supports excellence in the chemical sciences and contributes to greater gender representation within the scientific community.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Chemometrics and data-driven chemistry;
• Spectroscopic and chromatographic methods;
• Sustainable and green chemistry;
• Analytical chemistry and sensor development;
• Food chemistry and nutritional analysis;
• Catalysis and chemical reactivity;
• Functional and smart materials;
• Environmental chemistry;
• Electrochemistry and applied nanotechnology;
• Industrial applications and process chemistry.

We hope this Special Issue will not only showcase outstanding research but also inspire and empower future generations of women scientists in applied chemistry.

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. AppliedChem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Women’s Special Issue Series

This Special Issue is part of AppliedChem’s Women’s Special Issue Series, hosted by women editors for women researchers. The Series advocates the advancement of women in science. We invite contributions to the Special Issue whose lead authors identify as women. The submission of articles with all-women authorship is especially encouraged. However, we do welcome articles from all authors, irrespective of gender.
