Call for Papers: August 2014 Supplement: FT-IR Technology for Today's Spectroscopists

Spectroscopy magazine is seeking contributed manuscripts for its August 2014 supplement on Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. This supplement will include explanations of fundamentals of FT-IR spectroscopy, along with discussions of recent advances in the technology and applications-oriented articles.

Spectroscopy magazine is seeking contributed manuscripts for its August 2014 supplement on Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. This supplement will include explanations of fundamentals of FT-IR spectroscopy, along with discussions of recent advances in the technology and applications-oriented articles.

Links to our past supplements appear below:

Manuscripts should be approximately 2,000-2,500 words long, plus figures and tables as needed, including an abstract of approximately 150-200 words. Applications articles should follow a standard experimental article format. Figures and tables, along with their captions, should appear at the end of the manuscript, and figures also must be sent as separate files, preferably in JPG, TIF, PNG, or XLS format. References should be called out using numbers in parentheses and listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order.

Submissions from equipment manufacturers will be considered but must be devoid of promotional content; discussions of new technology should not focus on a specific manufacturer’s instrument.

Complete author guidelines are available at the following link:

Due date for abstract submission: May 19, 2014
Due date for completed articles: June 27, 2014

Suggested article length: ~2000–2500 words, plus figures and tables as needed

Where to submit: Send all proposals and completed articles to Editor Laura Bush, at [email protected] (tel. +1.732.346.3020).

Spectral Frontiers: Seeing the Unseeable Microspectroscopy
Microspectroscopy, the marriage of spectroscopic chemical identification with microscopic spatial resolution, has advanced from Perkin-Elmer's first commercial infrared microspectrometer in 1953 to today's nanoscale AFM-IR probes, synchrotron-brightness infrared beamlines, and compact hyperspectral tissue imaging devices being developed for AI-assisted cancer detection.
