Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolomics entails the comprehensive characterization of the ensemble of endogenous and exogenous metabolites present in biological specimens. Metabolites simultaneously represent the downstream output of the genome and the upstream input from various external factors. Therefore, in recent years, metabolomic phenotyping has been applied to unravel the fundamental and molecular causes of several scientific questions, spanning from biomedicine to nutrition and food science. With respect to our previous Special Issue “Research in Metabolomics via Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: Data Mining, Biochemistry and Clinical Chemistry”, in this Issue we aim to publish high-quality research papers related to metabolomics performed with every analytical platform (mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, etc.).
We welcome original articles from various fields of metabolomics applications ranging from clinical chemistry to biochemistry, pharmacology, data mining, nutrition, and food chemistry. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses that critically discuss crucial innovations or applications in the field, or which seek to investigate areas of controversy within the literature, will also be considered.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 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.
