Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mining operations have long been threatened by sudden hazards like gas outbursts and roof collapses. Traditional detection technologies, with delayed responses and single-dimensional monitoring, can hardly meet real-time prevention and control needs. Smart sensors, leveraging advantages of high sensitivity, real-time data interaction, and multi-parameter collaborative analysis, have become key to solving this problem. Focusing on "Smart Sensors for Real-Time Mining Hazard Detection", this Special Issue invites scholars to share achievements in sensing material innovation, algorithm optimization, and harsh environment adaptation to promote technology transformation.
This theme aligns well with Sensors: it falls under the journal’s key focus on "sensing technology innovation in specific scenarios", and its research on multi-parameter fusion and engineering applications responds directly to the journal’s coverage of "sensing system integration and cross-field applications", providing readers with cutting-edge references in the mining field.

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.
