Call for Papers

This special issue will focus on the broad development of sensor technologies to explore a deeper mechanistic understanding of form and function in biological  systems. Any sensor technology that addresses issues related to multidimensional sensing at the organelle, cell, tissue, and whole organism levels is acceptable. Full research papers with new results or a comprehensive review of the state-of-art of physiological sensing for environmental, biological, or medical applications are encouraged for submission. There are no restrictions on the topics of interest of this special issue. In addition, authors who are working on biosensors and biomaterials are encouraged to submit full research papers.

Because it has been a free online journal (an Open Access journal), papers rapidly published in Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) will receive very high publicity. Papers published in Sensors are rapidly indexed by databases including Chemical Abstracts and Science Citation Index expanded (Web of Science). The Open Access publishing, supported by authors, is also much less costly for scientists who are readers and authors of journals, see http://www.mdpi.org/oaj-supports.htm for details.

You may send your manuscript soon or by 30 November 2007. Papers accepted will be published immediately. Finally, all the papers belonging to this special issue will be gathered together in a homepage. Therefore, you may submit your paper now. The time taken between submission and publication is less than 1 month now. For review papers, the title and a short abstract can be sent to me as soon as possible.

I would like to invite you or through you other coworkers and researchers to contribute papers.

Please send your paper by e-mail to [email protected] and send a copy to [email protected]. The subject title of the message should be "Manuscript for Special Issue Physiological Sensing for the journal SENSORS".

Best Regards,
D. Marshall Porterfield

Submission

Sensors (http://www.mdpi.org/sensors/) is a highly rated journal with a 1.573 impact factor in 2007.
Sensors is indexed and abstracted very quickly by Chemical Abstracts, Analytical Abstracts, Science Citation Index Expanded, Chemistry Citation Index, Scopus and Google Scholar.

All papers should be submitted to [email protected] with copy to the guest editors. To be published continuously until the deadline and papers will be listed together at the special websites.

Please visit the instructions for authors at http://www.mdpi.org/sensors/publguid.htm before submitting a paper. Open Access publication fees are 800 CHF per paper. English correction fees (250 CHF) will be added in certain cases (1050 CHF per paper for those papers that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections).
