Current Advances in Underwater Acoustic Signal Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Underwater acoustic technology, as a core means of marine exploration, communication, and target identification, is receiving widespread attention from both academia and industry. In recent years, research in areas such as sonar systems, underwater noise control, acoustic communication, and bioacoustics has made significant progress, yet many challenges remain, such as signal processing in complex marine environments, applications of new acoustic materials, and underwater intelligent sensing. To promote academic exchange and drive technological innovation, we are launching this special call for papers on underwater acoustics, sincerely inviting experts, scholars, researchers, and industry professionals to share their latest research findings and practical experiences.

Manuscript Submission Information

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. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
