We publish the results of our research in high impact journals in the first quartiles of their respective categories. We have 147 international
publications, distributed in journals such as TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Microchemical Journal, Spectrochimica Acta A, Analytical Chemistry,
Talanta, Analytica Chimica Acta, Applied Spectroscopy Reviews, Forensic Science International, Science & Justice, Langmuir, Carbon, Colloid and
Polymer Science, Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and
Engineering Aspects (and others), as well as several book chapters and national publications.
CINQUIFOR's research quality is reflected in each of its publications, some of which have been selected for the cover of the volume in which they were
published (NIR news, 2014; Applied Spectroscopy, 2015), and the group has had a great impact, nationally and internationally, with several others
(Homeland Security News Wire, SINC Agency).
Some of our biggest published research achievements are…
