Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has become one of the most promising bioanalytical tools. As one of the fingerprint spectroscopies, SERS can achieve high sensitivity comparable to fluorescence and is available for water phase detection. Its high energy resolution feature makes SERS attractive in the field of SERS-based biosensing. Whether indirect or direct, SERS bioanalyses have widely expanded in recent decades. A key issue in SERS research progress is developing a high-enhancement SERS substrate. To realize the biosensing, the biocompatibility of SERS substrates would be considered. This Special Issue focuses on the recent development of SERS biosensing, involving new SERS techniques for biosystems, novel biocompatible SERS substrates, unique SERS-based biosensors, and new scope of SERS bioapplications. The review and full papers are all welcome.

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.
