Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Raman spectroscopy (RS), from its discovery nearly a century ago till today, has evolved to be a useful analytical tool for a variety of scientific disciplines. The versatility of the technique allows applications on samples of different physical forms (solids, semi-solids, suspensions, solutions, transparent or not) of different origin (synthetic, natural, biological) with no or minimal pretreatment and in a non-destructive manner. The fields of application range from the research labs, to the production lines (at- or in-line analysis) or to the study of human and animal tissues for clinical analysis.
This Special Issue is devoted to the advances of Raman spectroscopy in the areas of pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.
Pharmacy related manuscripts dealing with Raman analysis in drug development and manufacturing are welcomed. Relevant topics may include but not limited to: raw material identification, solid form screening, formulation analysis in late phase drug development, preformulation, quality control of finished products, counterfeit identification, reverse engineering, polymorphism, interaction between APIs and excipients, and API stability.
Diseases lead to changes in the molecular composition and structure of affected tissues. Pathological processes and their progression can be monitored with Raman spectroscopy and the underlined mechanisms can be studied and eventually elucidated. Manuscripts that reveal and promote ex vivo or in vivo tissue Raman analysis and disease (e.g., bone and cartilage diseases, cancer) monitoring are invited.

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.
