Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors have been widely applied in many fields, namely, the food industry, medical science, in the field of pharmacy or the marine sector, etc. In the last 10–15 years, several types of biosensors such as enzyme- or tissue-based, DNA biosensors, immunosensors, thermal, piezoelectric or optical biosensors have been designed, where in many cases nanostructured materials have been used as a “building blocks”. Today, nanostructured materials play an important role in a wide range of fields, including but not limited to chemistry, physics, medicine, catalytic processes, food processing industries, electronics, energy sectors, optoelectronics, and sensing.
This Special Issue of Biosensors aims to publish original high-quality research papers covering the most recent advances as well as comprehensive reviews addressing state-of-the-art topics in the field of mainly plasmonic- or fluorescent-based sensors using nano- or sub-nanometer-sized noble metals (gold, silver or copper). Moreover, this Special Issue also focuses on the presentation of the design of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy-based sensors and nanostructure-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensors.
Preferred topics:
- Design of nanosized plasmonic metal-based biosensors;
- Design of nanosized fluorescent metal-based biosensors;
- Fabrication of surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensors;
- Application of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy for selective detection of biological “objects” (cells, bacteria, viruses, etc.).
In advance, I would like to gratefully acknowledge the authors and reviewers who will participate to this Special Issue and that will contribute to the development of research based on the use of novel plasmonic and fluorescent biosensors.

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.

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.
