Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Metabolites welcomes the submission of original research articles or review papers that focus on the advancement of technology and/or workflows involving metabolomics. Mass spectrometry and NMR have long been associated with metabolomic profiling, providing a means of identifying and quantifying metabolites. As technologies evolve, they allow researchers to delve deeper into the metabolome, helping to provide insights that advance our understanding of metabolic disease, patient stratification and the development of therapeutics. The enhancement of analytical technologies provides a wealth of data, which also requires more sophisticated informatics to deconvolve and identify metabolites of interest. Combining these analytical approaches, whether discovery or targeted, with complex informatics workflows enables the review and interrogation of data whilst providing answers to complex biological questions. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest generation of analytical technologies (mass spectrometry and NMR for example), as well as present informatic-based workflows for discovery (untargeted) and targeted metabolomics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Metabolites 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.
