Diagnostic Methodology and Sensors Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Applications and sensors derived from applied physics and engineering research in avant-garde environments such as aerospace have produced more and more uses for  safeguarding from Space access and return to Earth Observation and Environmental monitoring. However, it is necessary to minimize the gap between predicted and experimental results, and the community now faces new challenges in innovative methodologies, measurement, and uncertainty assessment.

Our ambition in releasing this Special Issue is to ensure the rapid dissemination of up-to-date theoretical and research results from a very broad spectrum of topics, including measurement and sensors for aerospace applications, and information harvesting in the field of human safety like Earth Observation and Environmental monitoring. Therefore, papers should also present measurement methods, approaches, and principles for performance assessment through measurement, verification protocols, testing, and validation methods. Interdisciplinary contributions crossing boundaries within methodologies and measurements are especially welcome in the form of research papers, communications, review papers, and letters. There are multiple interconnections between apparently different research environments, and our goal is to combine the best research and technology in one Issue to ensure the safety and protection of humanity and the surrounding environment.

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-anonymized 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.
