Spectroscopy is seeking contributed manuscripts for its June 2016 supplement on Raman spectroscopy.
Manuscript Scope and Format
Articles may address fundamental issues in Raman spectroscopy, recent advances in Raman methods, or applications of Raman 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:
Due date for abstract submission: February 26, 2016
Due date for completed articles: April 22, 2016
Where to submit:
Send all proposals and completed articles to Editor Laura Bush, at lbush@advanstar.com (tel. +1.732.346.3020).

Spectroscopy and GPC to Evaluate Dissolved Organic Matter
February 4th 2025In a new study, a team of scientists used gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy to assess road runoff from drinking water treatment plants to evaluate the method' capacity for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM).
Blood-Glucose Testing: AI and FT-IR Claim Improved Accuracy to 98.8%
February 3rd 2025A research team is claiming significantly enhanced accuracy of non-invasive blood-glucose testing by upgrading Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) with multiple-reflections, quantum cascade lasers, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy, and machine learning. The study, published in Spectrochimica Acta Part A, reports achieving a record-breaking 98.8% accuracy, surpassing previous benchmarks for non-invasive glucose detection.
Distinguishing Horsetails Using NIR and Predictive Modeling
February 3rd 2025Spectroscopy sat down with Knut Baumann of the University of Technology Braunschweig to discuss his latest research examining the classification of two closely related horsetail species, Equisetum arvense (field horsetail) and Equisetum palustre (marsh horsetail), using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR).
