Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Green analytical chemistry (GAC) emerged from the area of green chemistry. This relatively new field of activity in green chemistry deals with the role of the analytical chemist in making laboratory practices more environmentally friendly and is of great interest to chemists, especially to analytical and environmental chemists.  In addition to the development of instruments and methods necessary to improve the quality of chemical analysis, efforts are being made to reduce the negative impact of chemical analysis on the environment and to enable analytical laboratories to implement the principles of sustainable development. In this context, GAC should be considered a stimulant for  advancement of analytical chemistry. The most important challenge for the future of the discipline is striking a balance between improving the quality of results and improving the environmental friendliness of analytical methods.

In the analytical chemistry field of research, eco-friendliness extends to green sample preparation methods, the reduction of solvents and reagent, the development of instruments and methods for direct solid sample analysis, the use of chemometric and computational modeling in order to simplify the procedure of analysis, among other applications.

This Special Issue aims to collect and present the recent achievements in green analytical chemistry, including all measurement techniques for all types of applications that reduce or eliminate the generation of chemical waste. Researchers are warmly invited to submit reviews and research papers for inclusion in this Special Issue.

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. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
