Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are witnessing a growing interest in the monitoring of ionizing radiation both due to the legislative updates following the transposition of the European Directive 59/2013 EURATOM (which represents the Basic Safety Standards—BSS), and due to the increase in awareness of the risks associated with exposures. In addition to living and working environments, another frontier is the exposure of astronauts.
This Special Issue therefore aims to gather original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications and new challenges in the field of detection techniques for ionizing radiation.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Passive detectors;
- Active detectors;
- Continuous monitoring;
- Clinical dosimetry;
- Space dosimetry;
- Environmental dosimetry;
- Monte Carlo simulation in clinical dosimetry.
This topic falls within the scope of Sensors as it concerns studies and progress in the development and use of sensory devices and their application in industry, the environment and, in particular, work and life scenarios.

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. Sensors 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 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.
