Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human-centric lighting contains the concepts and technological aspects combining the visual performance, emotional and color aspects, and non-imaging-forming (NIF) responses of humans to light exposure. Knowledge on human-centric lighting should be relevant to laying out new lighting systems which take human needs in dependence on weather, season, working contexts, application fields (e.g., schools, hospitals, offices), and time-of-day into account. Human responses to light exposure can be characterized by physiological, psychological, and behavioral measures. This Special Edition reports on advances in the field of research determining the acute and long-term effects of light at different light spectra and intensities, under day- and nighttime conditions in laboratory and field studies. In this context, methods for measuring and quantifying light exposure under different illumination conditions will be described.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
