Recent Advances in Infrared Spectroscopy and Imaging as Sensing Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and imaging have proven to be indispensable tools across a broad range of scientific and industrial applications. This powerful technique has become a cornerstone in laboratories worldwide, facilitating critical advancements in materials analysis, biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and beyond.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a forthcoming Special Issue of Sensors, entitled “Recent Advances in Infrared Spectroscopy and Imaging as Sensing Techniques”. This Special Issue will focus on recent breakthroughs and innovative applications of IR spectroscopy and imaging technologies, particularly their role as sensing techniques in various fields.

We welcome original research articles, short communications, and comprehensive reviews that explore advances in the development and application of IR spectroscopy and imaging in areas including, but not limited to, the following:

• Materials science and characterization;
• Biomedical diagnostics and non-invasive sensing;
• Environmental sensing and pollution monitoring;
• Industrial process control and monitoring;
• Emerging trends in hyperspectral and multispectral IR imaging;
• Cultural heritage analysis and art objects authentication.

We invite you to submit your manuscript and share your latest research in this rapidly evolving field. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review to ensure the highest standards of scientific quality and impact.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
