Discussion journal of the Mössbauer Community

[Alexander A. Kamnev <a.a.kamnev AT mail.ru>]

Dear Colleagues and friends,
 
I would like to inform all of you that within the Program of the major 
congress on all kinds of analytical spectroscopy,  Colloquium Spectroscopicum 
Internationale XLIII (CSI XLIII, Tokushima, Japan, 26-30 June 2023) , a 
special session is planned:  «Mössbauer Spectroscopy and Nuclear Techniques» 
(this topic is within the list of topics of CSI; see the website:  
https://j-libs.org/CSI2023_ASLIBS2023/ ).  Note that this planning has just 
started, but the  Abstract Submission deadline has already been extended till 
30 March 2023 (there is no limit «1 participant — 1 presentation», one 
registered participant can present, e.g. a talk and 1-2 posters).
 
The additional bonus of this excellent congress is that full papers related 
to  all presentations may be submitted after the event and published 
(immediately after acceptance) in Virtual Special Issues of the two 
spectroscopic journals («Elsevier»; both within quartiles Q1 by Web of 
Science):
- Spectrochim. Acta Part A: Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. ( SAA ), with major 
results obtained by molecular spectroscopy techniques or related theoretical 
approaches, and 
-  Spectrochim. Acta Part B: Atomic Spectrosc.  ( SAB ), with major results 
obtained by atomic spectroscopy techniques or related theoretical approaches.
As I have been guest-editing several Special Issues of  SAA  after previous 
CSI events (also as an ISC member of CSI and EB member of  SAA ), I may 
inform you that, according to the journal Editors’ policy, solely  Mössbauer 
spectroscopic data are rarely accepted by  SAA , but a combination of any  
molecular spectroscopy  technique(s) (e.g., FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis, 
fluorescence, etc.) with Mössbauer spectroscopy could be publishable (note 
that  SAB  does not accept Mössbauer spectroscopy-based papers).
All members of the international Mössbauer spectroscopic community are kindly 
asked to consider this possibility to present your materials at CSI XLIII.
 
To facilitate planning this session (which I intend to organise and lead, 
with the consent of the Chairmen), I ask those who will decide or plan to 
submit abstracts and attend CSI XLIII, to contact me  (not «MIX» — please do 
not use a «Reply» option to reply to this message)  by email:
