Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is aimed at covering the recent progress in and practical aspects of the validation and verification of analytical methods and quality control of measurements in analytical chemistry. We aim to envisaged to present original high-quality papers and comprehensive reviews presenting the following:
- The practical details and results of the validation of modified, novel, or newly developed methods and sensors;
- Approaches and results from the validation, verification, and quality control of different stages of the entire analytical process: sampling, sample preparation, measurement of analytical signal, data treatment, analytical results and interpretation.
- Approaches for the development of specific quality control procedures, with lab control samples or lab reference materials, for specific analytes, matrices or objects of analysis, as well as specific analytical methods.
- Comparative studies of different approaches for the validation and verification of analytical methods, their advantages and limitations, specific applications, results, and interpretation.
- Statistical approaches for treatement of data from analytical measurements and their application.
- Application of validated analytical methods in chemical technology and material science.
Scholars may submit research detailing applied validation and quality control procedures, together with their advantages, limitations, and the interpretation of the results. Reports on specific samples, analytes, or analytical methods in different fields of science and technology are of interest. Examples of the application of validated analytical methods will also be considered, especially if they present how a given issue is mitigated or specific limitations are addressed. Comprehensive reviews presenting the current achivements and trends in the validation of analytical methods and quality control of measurements in analytical chemistry are also invited.

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.
