Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of optical chemical sensors has been a growing research area over the last decades, finding increasing application in industry, environment, monitoring, medicine, biomedicine, and chemical analysis. The recent developments in this area are driven by such factors as the availability of low-cost, miniature optoelectronic light sources and frequency-output detectors, the need for multianalyte array-based sensors (particularly in the area of biosensing), advances in microfluidics and imaging technology, and the trend toward sensor networks.
This Special Issue “Optical Chemical Sensors and Spectroscopy” will include extended papers from both annual IFSA conferences, 7th International Conference on Sensors and Electronic Instrumentation Advances (SEIA' 2021) and 4th International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2021), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conferences to submit articles for this call. Authors of selected high-quality papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their original papers (50% extensions of the contents of the conference paper) and other contributions.
Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Optical chemical sensors;
- Optical transduction;
- Spectroscopic sensing;
- Imaging;
- Optical absorption;
- Luminescence-based sensors;
- Fluorescence-based sensors;
- Interferometric sensors;
- Fiber-optic sensor platforms;
- Diode laser sensing systems;
- Sol–gel-materials-based sensors.
These topics directly fit the scope of MDPI’s open access journal Chemosensors.

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.
