Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the application of the infrared thermography (IRT) method in various research fields. However, taking into account that a validation of a supposition is usually realized via a cross-check, the use of combined approaches are also welcomed. In any case, the authors should demonstrate that the part of IRT is predominant in their works, and it is direct towards the implementation of new ideas. In our humble opinion, the participation of leading scientists is really important to guide the reader and new users towards a world seen at infrared. In this way, it will be possible to see the unseen, i.e., detect anomalies without contact, otherwise indiscernible to the naked eye. This can be useful in any process temperature-dependent linked to the civil, mechanical, biomedical, aeronautical, aerospace engineering, as well as to the artistic and architectural heritage, which are the sectors at the base of this Special Issue. Particularly welcome will be works that validate, at the experimental level, preliminary numerical simulations, while mathematical explanations should forerun new processing of thermal images. In situ applications are considered on the same level as laboratory measurements, although we imagine that case studies will not be the majority of the published papers. The message that should leave your mark on, with respect to the future generations of diagnosticians, is based on IRT as a non-destructive, non-invasive, and non-intrusive method useful to analyze thermal responses coming from humans, materials, and processes.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.

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.
