IM Publications is the leading publisher in the exciting field of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, with two periodicals, Journal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (JNIRS) and NIR news, books and online resources.

Journal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy CoverJournal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy is a bimonthly, peer review journal dedicated to all aspects of NIR spectroscopy and technology with the publication of original research papers, short communications, review articles and letters.

NIR news CoverNIR news is the official newsletter of the International Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy. It informs, educates and keeps you up-to-date with developments and conferences throughout the world. NIR news is published eight times a year. A team of Regional Editors in Australia, Europe, Japan and North America helps to ensure that NIR news has an international outlook, which is supplemented with news of NIR groups in different countries.

Also see the Journal of Spectral Imaging, which publishes papers on NIR spectroscopy imaging.

Visit our bookshop and view our books on NIR spectroscopy and chemometrics and other titles from international publishers.

Our NIR Discussion Forum is a most valuable resource for novice and expert alike. Thanks to the dedication and support of the NIR community, questions are answered quickly. Please participate with your own questions or by answering others’.
