The journal Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220, IF 2.475) is currently running a Special Issue entitled "Optical Sensors for Nuclear, Physical,Biological and Chemical Sensing". Prof. Dr. Gary R. Pickrell(Engineering Virginia Tech, USA), Dr. Brian Risch (Prysmian Group, USA)and Dr. Daniel Homa (Engineering Virginia Tech, USA) are serving as Guest Editors for this issue.
This Special Issue of the journal Sensors entitled “Optical Sensors for Nuclear, Physical, Biological, and Chemical Sensing” will focus on all aspects of research and development related to these areas. Papers which focus on the design and experimental verification of these sensors as well as papers which focus on the results of sensor field testing in these areas are welcome. It is the goal of this Special Issue to provide a broad platform for publishing the many rapid advances which are currently being achieved in the area of photonic sensor technology. It is envisioned that by providing this Special Issue and allowing sufficient breadth in the submissions accepted, similarities across market segments may be realized by researchers in these different
application areas, which will provide synergistic comparisons that may enhance the overall photonic sensor efforts rapidly advancing throughout the world at the present time.

The submission deadline is 30 June 2019. You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office in advance ([email protected] or [email protected]).
Sensors is covered by leading indexing services, including the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Chemical Abstracts, INSPEC, and CAB Abstracts. The latest Impact Factor for the year 2017 is 2.475, and the five-year Impact Factor is 3.014.
Sensors is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutes. Article Processing Charges of CHF 1800 (APC) apply to accepted papers. You may be entitled to a discount if you have previously received a discount code or if your institute is participating in the MDPI Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP), for more information see: http://www.mdpi.com/about/ioap.
