*Deadline Extended*
Spectroscopy is seeking contributed manuscripts for its August 2018 supplement on infrared (IR) spectroscopy, including far-infrared, mid-infrared, and near-infrared (NIR) techniques.
Manuscript Scope and Format
Articles may address fundamental issues in IR spectroscopy, recent advances in methods, or applications of IR methods.
Manuscripts should be approximately 2000–2500 words long, including an abstract of approximately 150–200 words, plus up to six figures and tables combined. 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, PPT, 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.
Deadlines:
Deadlines for this special issue have been extended to the following dates:
Due date for abstract submission: April 30, 2018
Due date for completed articles: June 22, 2018
Where to submit:
Send all proposals and completed articles to Editor Laura Bush, at laura.bush@ubm.com (tel. +1.732.346.3020).

Scientists Unveil Better Mixing Rule for Absorption Spectroscopy of Aerosols and Colloids
June 16th 2025Researchers have introduced a simple yet powerful new rule based on Rayleigh scattering theory that accurately links the absorption behavior of composite media, like aerosols or colloids, to the properties of their nanoparticle constituents.
Short Tutorial: Complex-Valued Chemometrics for Composition Analysis
June 16th 2025In this tutorial, Thomas G. Mayerhöfer and Jürgen Popp introduce complex-valued chemometrics as a more physically grounded alternative to traditional intensity-based spectroscopy measurement methods. By incorporating both the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of a sample, this approach preserves phase information and improves linearity with sample analyte concentration. The result is more robust and interpretable multivariate models, especially in systems affected by nonlinear effects or strong solvent and analyte interactions.
