Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to invite state-of-the-art research reports and review articles around the topic of mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics analysis. By now, it is well recognized that technologies for metabolomics analysis must allow separating, detecting, quantifying, and identifying many individual metabolites present within a complicated biological matrix (such as tissue, cell, biofluids, or breath), a changeling task given the approximately tens of thousands of human metabolites, plus drugs, food components, and bacterial metabolites. Due to this large number of analytes to be detected, it is clear that not one analytical technique will cover the entire metabolome. At the frontier of techniques used for metabolomics studies, mass-spectrometry-based techniques offer an excellent combination of sensitivity and selectivity and can be used for high throughput analysis which fits perfectly in a fast-paced research lab/clinical diagnostic laboratory setting. We welcome a broad range of manuscript submissions from mass spectrometry technique development to applications. We also welcome topics related to metabolic profiling, disease biomarker discoveries using metabolomics, metabolomics-based system biology studies, metabolic flux analysis, and advanced metabolomics data analysis. Both research reports and review articles will be considered.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jiangjiang(Chris) Zhu

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.
