Biosystems Engineering: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue entitled ”Biosystems Engineering: Latest Advances and Prospects”.

Biosystems engineering cover domains with a significant impact on the sustainability of agro-industrial production chains. This includes the development of technologies for the storing, conversion, and processing of agri-food products, the sustainable management of the rural area, as well as the application of mechatronics and artificial intelligence for the development of autonomous biotechnical systems or the intelligent depollution systems. The final goal is to create innovative and sustainable technological solutions for the well-being of humans and animals, as well as the preservation and enhancement of natural resources and the environment, with mutual benefits for nature and humans, including the safety and quality of agri-food products.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring recent advances in the fields of biotechnical systems with a focus on applications in agriculture, food industry, and environment.

Topics include, but are not limited to, advanced approaches, methods, laboratory and analytical techniques, processes, technologies, and equipment for agriculture, food industry, and environment.

Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, including interdisciplinary studies in engineering for biotechnical systems, as well as comprehensive reviews and survey papers.

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.
