Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membranes (ISSN 2077-0375) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that covers all aspects of membrane technology, including the preparation and characterization of membranes and their applications in water treatment, gas separation, energy sustainability, food technology, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries.
This year, Membranes will celebrate its tenth anniversary. Since its inaugural issue in 2011, it has published a great number of high-quality and high-impact articles, and consequently has established itself as one of the leading membrane science journals. This is reflected by its CiteScore (Scopus) of 3.28 and the fact that it is in the process of acquiring its first Impact Factor (Clarivate Analytics) later this year.
With great pleasure and pride, we would like to announce the publication of a Special 10th Anniversary Issue of Membranes to mark this important milestone in its development, and would like to invite the submission of original articles, short communications, and critical reviews in all areas of membrane research covered by the journal (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/membranes/about).
We are looking forward to receiving your valued contributions.
Prof. Spas D. Kolev (Editor-in-Chief)
Prof. Dr. Shiro Suetsugu (Section Editor-in-Chief, Membranes in Life Sciences)
Prof. Dr. Giulio C. Sarti (Section Editor-in-Chief, Membrane Modeling and Simulation)
Prof. Dr. Benjamin S. Hsiao (Section Editor-in-Chief, Membrane Engineering and Applications)

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. Membranes 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 2200 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.
