Advances in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics

Dear Colleagues,

Mass spectrometry is the core technology at the heart of proteome research. While it is now widely employed by researchers in (among others) biological and biomedical research, significant advances in sample preparation, in mass spectrometric instrumentation, and in bioinformatics are still opening up completely new lines of research ranging from the classification of archaeological artifacts to single-cell analysis of engineered tissues. We cordially invite researchers from the fields of analytical chemistry, instrument development, biological and biomedical sciences, as well as bioinformatics to highlight this progress by contributing to this Special Issue, specifically with contributions in the following areas and technologies:

• Low-input proteomics;
• Ion-mobility-enhanced mass spectrometry techniques;
• Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry;
• Next-generation data processing and statistical approaches.

In addition to conventional research articles and reviews, we also welcome commentaries, opinions, and perspectives on the progress and applications of mass spectrometric proteome analysis.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
