Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic resonance techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electron spin resonance (ESR) play an important role in chemical analysis, as they are distinguished by their high specificity, good sensitivity and absence of adverse effects on sample. Although they originated several decades ago, they are still developing rapidly, with method innovations and continuous hardware development enabling a wide range of applications in various scientific fields, including materials science. State-of-the-art scientific articles on the magnetic resonance analysis of various types of materials define the interdisciplinary nature of the research field and its potential applications. Often, these papers are published in specialized journals, which may be cumbersome for readers and make it harder to grasp the subjective goals of the manuscript and related field overview. Therefore, such publications acquire only partial attention, and from only a limited scientific community. For genuine readers, this Special Issue will present an attractive opportunity to sequentially and more easily obtain information concerning the recent advances in magnetic resonance methods in materials chemistry analysis. For the authors, it will be an appropriate choice to publicize their results and classify themselves as active members of the scientific community. This Special Issue shall broadly contain original scientific contributions, focusing primarily on the theoretical and experimental areas of magnetic resonance applications in the analysis of materials chemistry, as indicated by the keywords. Review articles by experts in the field shall also be warmly appreciated.
Prof. Dr. Igor Serša
Guest Editor
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.
