Carbohydrate Structure Analysis: Methods and ApplicationsGuest Editors Parastoo Azadi, Ph.D. and Christian Heiss, Ph.D., of the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center at the University of Georgia (USA) invite manuscript proposals (abstracts) on topics related to Carbohydrate Structure Analysis: Methods and Applications for publication in a 2020 special issue. Proposals will be used to select and invite manuscript submissions for review and publication consideration.

Drs. Azadi and Heiss seek high-quality, short or full-length research reports, reviews and perspectives related to new developments in carbohydrate structure analysis as well as applications of carbohydrate characterization. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

Invited authors will be noti�ed by May 9, 2019. Invited manuscripts will need to be completed and submitted by Aug. 10, 2019. All submitted papers will be subject to peer-review to ensure scienti�c rigor, clarity of expression and integration with other contributions in the SLAS Technology special issue. Submissions from SLAS members and nonmembers are welcome. No APCs.

Publication note: After submissions are accepted, they typically publish online ahead-of-print within 30 days and become immediately searchable and citeable with a DOI.

Submit your manuscript proposal before May 1, 2019.1. Submit a working title and abstract (up to 500 words) as an MSWord document
