IR Spectroscopy: An Emerging Analytical Tool

Dear Colleagues,

Infrared spectroscopy is a more and more useful technique in the field of analytical research, providing a simple way to obtain information from easy to acquire samples, being used to characterize a complex matrix. The applications of vibrational spectroscopy are ever expanding, due to its non-destructive and versatile nature. Historically speaking, IR applications started with the pioneer works of Coblentz, in 1913. Since then, its development has been undeniably evidenced by an enormous number of review and research papers published every year, especially in biomedical, pharmaceutical and food analysis.

This Special Issue aims to present, using reviews and original research, the current state-of-the-art in the field and the results of new applications of infrared spectroscopy in analysis in pharmaceutical, biomedical, food and other related sciences.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
