Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2020 International Conference on Smart Sensors (ICSS) will be held on 22–23 June 2020 at National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan (http://www.icsstw.org/ICSS_2020). As with last year, the conference is a joint event of the 25th Symposium of Association for Chemical Sensors in Taiwan and the 23nd Nano Engineering and Microsystem Technology Conference.
This Special Issue will publish both selected papers from ICSS 2020 and external papers. The topics to be covered include but are not limited to:
A. Chemical Sensors
Electrochemical sensors
Optical sensors
Semiconductor and electric sensors
B. Biosensors
Nanomaterial, enzyme-based or cell-based biosensors
Immunosensors for the clinic, food, environment, drugs, etc.
DNA or RNA-related biosensors for the clinic, food, environment, drugs, etc.
C. Microfluidics for Medical Applications
Lab-on-a-chip microdevices
Portable and emerging microfluidics technologies
Medical application techniques classified by clinical Subjects
D. MEMS and NEMS Fabrication
Material and device characterization
Mechanical/physical sensors and microsystems
Micro- and nanoengineering
E. Microfluidics
Micro and nano fluidic devices and systems
Microfluidics for separations, reactions, and synthesis
Fundamentals in microfluidics
F. Applied MEMS and Applied Microfluidics
Energy harvesting/power/RF/optical/acoustic MEMS
BioMEMS and integrated microfluidic platforms
Enabling technologies for IoT applications
We encourage both original research papers and comprehensive review articles to be submitted to this Special Issue.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
