Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2020, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of our journal Molecules. To date, the journal has published more than 20,000 papers, and the journal website attracts 115,000 monthly visits and more than 395,000 monthly page-views. Molecules has carved out a notable space in chemical litrature with a Impact Factor of 3.267 (2019) with a 5-Year Impact Factor of 3.589 (2019). Our sincerest thanks go to our readers, innumerable authors, anonymous peer reviewers, editors, and all the people working in some way for the journal who have joined their efforts for years. Without your help, we would never have achieved this.
To mark this important milestone, a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Applied Chemistry” is being launched. This Special Issue collects communications, full papers, and high-quality review papers in the applied chemistry fields. We kindly invite and encourage all research groups covering various applied chemistry areas to make contributions to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Bhanu P. S. Chauhan
Guest Editor
