Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Information is the most powerful tool depending on how accessible it is. In this Special Issue, the focus on biosensors for environmental quality monitoring and risk assessment requires innovative thinking to succeed in providing reliable instruments. The biochemical background of emergent molecule-based sensors provides a universe of opportunities for the generation of alternatives to highly technological laboratories and specialized personnel. Instead, the discovery, design, and validation of novel biosensors can offer an accessible alternative to a broader audience and provide the tools to obtain valuable information applicable to medicine, the environment, security, food, and industries through the analysis of complex matrices. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality original research and specialized review articles regarding a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, novel biosensor development based on bio-molecules and bio-molecule-like nanoparticles, as well as the targeting of environmental pollutants of emerging concern in water, soil, air, and biota. Biosensors are intended for use in portable, accessible, and reliable devices, but their application is not limited.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
