Vibrational Spectroscopy provides a vehicle for the publication of original research in vibrational spectroscopy. It covers infrared, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopies and publishes papers dealing with developments in applications, theory, techniques and instrumentation. The topics covered by the journal include: Sampling techniques - including diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, reflection-absorption spectroscopy, and photoacoustic spectroscopy; Vibrational spectroscopy coupled with separation techniques; Instrumentation (Fourier transform, conventional and laser based); Data manipulation; Expert systems for identification and structure elucidation; Spectra-structure correlation and group frequencies.The application areas covered include: Analytical chemistry; Bio-organic and bio-inorganic chemistry; Organic chemistry; Inorganic chemistry; Catalysis; Environmental science; Industrial chemistry; Materials science; Physical chemistry; Polymer science; Process control; Specialized problem solving.The journal provides its readership with a concise picture of the ''state of the art'' of vibrational spectroscopy on a regular basis. In order to achieve this goal the journal publishes review articles, news, and book reviews, as well as original research papers and short communications.
