Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are honored to have been invited to put together a Special Issue of Molecules on the topic of “Analytical Chemistry in Forensic Science” with the goal of publishing high-quality and applied research across all disciplines related to the development and use of analytical techniques for the advancement of forensic science. Specifically, this Special Issue will promote rigorous novel research that investigates forensic science-related topics and offers a platform for the dissemination of scientific advancement to a diverse audience of forensic practitioners, research scientists, and law enforcement officials.
All submissions must contribute to advancing the field of forensic science and be technically sound with clear research justifications. Contributions from forensic practitioners reporting on validation and implementation of novel analytical methods and techniques in crime laboratories are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Igor Lednev
Prof. Dr. Brooke Weinger Kammrath

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. 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.
