Dublin, February 2007

Dear Colleagues,

As members of the International Advisory Editorial Board of the journal Sensors, and guest editors of its special issue entitled "Amperometric Sensors and Techniques for Neurochemical Monitoring", we invite you and your co-workers to contribute a paper to this issue. Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220, CODEN SENSC9) is a peer-refereed scientific journal, published on-line monthly (since 2001) at www.mdpi.org/sensors/ by Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI, www.mdpi.org), Basel, Switzerland. Sensors is indexed and abstracted rapidly by Chemical Abstracts, Analytical Abstracts, Science Citation Index Expanded and Chemistry Citation Index. This open access journal is funded by publication charges paid by authors and a charge waiver program. This allows the readers to be provided with a free access to the on-line edition and an unlimited number of e-reprints can be distributed via e-mail free of charge. Papers that have been accepted are published immediately.

The deadline for paper submission is scheduled by 30 June 2008. Regarding the scope, this issue is to be focused on amperometric electrodes/sensors and techniques designed for neurochemical monitoring in vivo.

The respective manuscripts should be submitted directly via e-mail to the Guest Editors. General Instructions for authors (www.mdpi.org/sensors/publguid.htm) should be followed.

If you are interested in contributing to our special issue, please, let us know as soon as possible together with a preliminary title of your paper.  

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely Yours,
John P. Lowry and Robert O'Neill
