Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mining and energy sectors are among the key areas that determine safety, industrial development, and new technologies. Meeting the increasingly high requirements for energy storage and generation via both conventional and renewable sources, as well as acquiring, processing, and consuming mineral resources requires the automation and monitoring of these processes. We would like the proposed Special Issue to be a forum for exchanging knowledge through presentations of solutions, research results, and scientific achievements concerning broadly understood automation and monitoring of processes in the mining and energy sectors. Such processes include, among others:
- generating heat and electricity from fossil fuels, renewable energy sources, and nuclear fuel;
- energy storage, including in electrochemical, gravity, etc., as well as storage facilities;
- the processing of fossil fuels;
- the processing of mineral resources, as well as the acquisition of critical raw materials (e.g. REE) for energy production.

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. Electronics 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.
