Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We request papers that use structural and/or functional measures of the retina to enhance diagnosis in retinal and neurological disorders. With a growing interest in applying AI for disease classification, the identification of retinal biomarkers has been used to support clinical diagnoses and improved screening for retinal and neurological disorders. This Special Issue will highlight innovative works in this field by using different tools that have been applied to it, including electrophysiology and imaging methods.
This Special Issue encourages submissions that cover, among others, the following topics:
- Structural measures of the retina for diagnosing disorders;
- Functional retinal assessments in neurological diseases;
- Identification and utilization of retinal biomarkers;
- Integration of structural and functional retinal data;
- Application of AI in retinal disease classification;
- Advanced electrophysiology and imaging techniques;
- Development of new tools and technologies for retinal assessment;
- Use of retinal imaging to detect neurological disease biomarkers;
- AI-supported screening methods for retinal and neurological disorders;
- Machine learning and deep learning in retinal imaging analysis.

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 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 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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
