Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic Resonance finds applications from spectroscopy to imaging on a routine basis in the majority of research and medical institutions. It is also becoming used more frequently for specific applications in which the whole instrument and system is designed for optimum operation. Magnetic Resonance sensors have been applied to fields as varied as petro-chemistry with borehole logging, food engineering with online process monitoring, emergency medicine with point of care diagnostics and civil engineering with sensors for monitoring cement drying. This great diversity sees exciting developments in magnetic resonance sensing technology published in application specific journals where they are often not seen by the wider sensor community.

It is clear that there is an enormous interest in magnetic resonance sensors and this special edition of Sensors aims to address the wide distribution of relevant articles by providing a forum to disseminate cutting edge research in this field in a single open source publication.

We welcome submissions related to application specific magnetic resonance sensor technologies; novel applications of sensors to magnetic resonance; new designs for magnetic resonance sensors or their components; new methods for acquiring or processing data collected from magnetic resonance sensors or other topics within this field. Regular research articles and review articles are equally welcomed.

Submission

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs).
