Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect high quality review papers in the molecular sciences’ research fields. We encourage researchers from various fields within the journal’s scope to contribute review papers highlighting the latest developments in their research field, or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to do so. This Topical Collection primarily publishes review papers by invitation, but will also publish reviews on topics of particular interest that do not overlap with current or recent Special Issues (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms/special_issues).
In this Special Issue, full length comprehensive reviews and topical reviews will be considered. Reviews provide comprehensive in depth overviews with no length restrictions, whereas topical reviews focus on a concise and precise ‘at-a-glance’ summary of novel developments in the field. Topical reviews should be no more than 3500 words in length, with 1–2 “at-a-glance” figure(s) or a comprehensive table.
Prof. Irmgard Tegeder
Guest Editor
