Radiopharmaceuticals

This special issue belongs to the section “Medicinal Chemistry“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In line with the three previous Special Issues that I have guest-edited for Molecules, this issue is about radiopharmaceuticals and related topics: simply named "Radiopharmaceuticals". I hope authors contribute articles and reviews dealing with all aspects of radiopharmaceuticals. The subject may vary from radioactive isotope production, the synthesis of precures, radioactive labeling reactions, and the purification of radiopharmaceuticals to quality control and regulatory efforts, which are required prior to using radiopharmaceuticals in humans. The above could be used, for example, in combination with in vitro studies or in vivo animal studies, in the degradation and/or uptake profiles of the radiopharmaceutical along with modeling of the radiopharmaceutical distribution, in metabolism, in uptake, and in excretion.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to host research and review papers on radiopharmaceuticals.

Dr. Svend Borup Jensen
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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
