Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since its launch, Chemosensors has been committed to advancing innovative sensing technologies across chemistry, biology, medicine, and environmental sciences. To further promote the visibility of early-career researchers, the journal has established the Early Career Editorial Board and initiated this Special Issue dedicated to showcasing the most recent achievements of young scientists.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that reflect the diversity and vitality of the sensing field, including but not limited to food safety and quality analysis, biomedical and clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, novel analytical methodologies, functional materials for sensing, micro/nano-scale devices, point-of-care testing, and miniaturized or wearable instruments. We will also focus on the following:
- Hybrid sensing systems for simultaneous detection of multiple food contaminants or biomarkers;
- Functional materials and hydrogel-based micro/nanoplatforms for biological analysis;
- Microfluidic and organ-on-chip technologies bridging food science and biomedical research;
- Integrated analytical devices for portable, high-throughput, or point-of-care applications;
- Cross-disciplinary strategies uniting food analysis and biomedical diagnostics through advanced data processing, AI, or imaging.

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. Chemosensors 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 2000 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.
