Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spectroscopy, a widely utilized analytical technique, has traditionally focused on the absorption, emission, and scattering of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared electromagnetic radiation. However, the scope of spectroscopy has significantly broadened to encompass a variety of other electromagnetic radiation forms, such as X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves, as well as the analysis involving energetic particles like electrons and ions.
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to "Spectroscopic Methods of Analysis". In this Special Issue, we will collect articles from researchers in the further study of optical spectroscopic methods. We particularly encourage submissions that explore the myriad of methods now routinely employed to investigate the properties of individual macromolecules, their complexes, organelles, and cells through optical spectroscopic techniques. This includes innovative methods and approaches for both experimental and theoretical analysis, single-molecule studies, electronic absorption, and electro-optical assessments of macromolecular interactions, structures, and dynamics.
We look forward to your insightful submissions and the opportunity to showcase the latest advancements in the field.

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. Methods and Protocols 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 1800 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.
