Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Analytical Chemistry as a scientific field is a good example of the connection of fundamental research in chemical, physical, and biological branches to demands of practice. The mutual stimulation of fundamental and applied research makes analytical chemistry a dynamically developing area. The current high level of mechanical engineering and microelectronics is accelerating advancements in instrumental analytical techniques. Approaches to analytical data processing are being improved under the dictation of their increasing volume and with the possibilities of dramatically developing informatics. The optimization and validation of analytical procedures are becoming quicker and automated. However, sophisticated instrumentation, although supported by artificial intelligence, is not self-saving. Experience and thorough knowledge of possibilities and risks throughout the whole analytical procedure from the design of the experiment to the sampling, sample treatment, and analysis and data processing remain essential for successful research to be achieved. The integration of the entire analytical process and its transfer into practice is the subject of applied analytical chemistry.
This Special Issue aims to cover recent progress and trends in applied analytical chemistry. Papers focused on novel sampling and sample treatment procedures and the utilization of up-to-date techniques and methods in analytical practice are welcome to be submitted. Moreover, progressive approaches in the design of experiments and data processing proven in real situations fit within the scope of this Special Issue. Emphasis should be placed on the integrity of the whole analytical process. This Special Issue is open to all types of analytical techniques and the application of their (synergistic) combinations, with particular focus on the following, but not limited to, areas:
- Food production;
- Forensic practice and archaeology;
- Environmental monitoring;
- Clinical practice;
- Quality control in industry;
- Analysis of plant material.

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.
