Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 15th Workshop of the European Cyclotron Network (CYCLEUR) will take place in Bucharest (Romania) on 22–23 June 2023. After the last edition before the COVID-19 pandemic in Dresden (2019), this event will reassemble again major experts in the field of cyclotrons, radioisotope production, targets, and target chemistry. In recent years, significant advances have been made in these fields and novel instruments and methodologies have been developed with direct implications for science and society. In particular, the production of radioisotopes for both medical diagnostics and therapy—so-called “theragnostics”— received a boost that is producing a breakthrough in nuclear medicine. This Special Issue is intended to collect original scientific contributions on the latest developments on cyclotrons and related topics, and in particular, on their applications in medicine and multi-disciplinary research.

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. Instruments 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 1400 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.
