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,
