Biosensing for Environmental Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

The fast growth of environmental pollution around the world and waste discharge require environmental monitoring and waste recovery technology. The molecular and bioelectrochemical techniques for quantitative and qualitative pollutant dectection have been available for environmental surveys. In recent years, many molecular techniques, e.g., quantitative PCR, recombinant DNA, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), have been developed intensively. This Special Issue, titled “Biosensing for Environmental Monitoring”, of the international SCI Journal (2021 IF = 5.743) Biosensors, will mainly cover original research which relates to the abovementioned topic, including microbial electrochemistry, environmental survey, environmental monitoring, and molecular techniques. Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results. The Special Issue aims to focus on the recent development of biosensing strategies applied to environmental survey and environmental monitoring research. Furthermore, the Special Issue will provide an overview of recent achievements and stimulate ideas about current and future research in the biosensors field. Both original papers and review articles are welcome. I look forward to receiving your outstanding research outcomes.

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. Biosensors 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 2200 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.
