Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous development of advanced analytical techniques has enabled researchers to unlock the intricate chemical profiles of plants, providing critical insights into their chemical composition, biological properties, and potential applications. Plants are an unlimited source of bioactive compounds. This Special Issue, “Advanced Research in Plant Analytical Chemistry”, invites contributions that explore the application of cutting-edge analytical methods in plant research, fostering innovation and advanced knowledge in this multidisciplinary field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, research employing novel electrochemical, chromatographic, spectroscopic, and mass spectrometric analytical approaches; integrative techniques like chemometrics, metabolomics, and in silico modeling for the identification and characterization of plant metabolites; the discovery of phytochemicals with health-promoting properties; and the standardization of plant-based products for industrial and commercial applications. The scope of this Special Issue includes addressing critical challenges such as food safety, developing plant-derived pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and performing forensic investigations involving plant-based substances.
This Special Issue aims for researchers to share their findings, present innovative methodologies, and discuss the transformative role of plant analytical chemistry in driving progress across multiple scientific and industrial disciplines.

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. Plants 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.
