Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to Professor Jean-Louis Marty, a tireless researcher and a pioneer in the field of biosensors for pesticides and micotoxines, who retired in 2019 from his position as Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Perpignan, France. To honor his enthusiasm and endless energy, the Special Issue will gather contributions from collaborators, former students and scientists working on research areas most impacted by Professor Marty’s work, more broadely described by the topic Advanced Biosensors for Food and Environmental Monitoring.
In this Special Issue we invite articles devoted to high performing nanomaterial-enabled biosensors for the detection of food and environmental contaminants. Works exploring: (i) novel nanomaterials with controllable characteristics such as functional groups, size, shape etc and their effect on sensor performance, (ii) novel biorecognition elements, immobilization strategies and bio-nanointerfaces, (iii) biomimetic nanomaterials, (iv) sensing mechanisms and signal amplification schemes are welcome, as are reports that emphasize examples of real samples analysis and validation of the proposed biosensors versus established methods, addressing challenging issues such as matrix effects and sample preparation, calibration and on site analysis.
Both research papers and review articles are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Silvana Andreescu

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
