Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation detectors and sensors are of great interest to the high-energy physics, nuclear physics, and the medical imaging communities. In the past decade, novel scintillator-based radiation detectors have continuously been discovered in academia and in industry thanks to advancements in materials science. Scintillators in various forms and shapes, such as crystal, ceramic, glass, organic-based scintillators, and fiber optics, have been developed to meet the demand for future radiation sensors and detectors operating under severe radiation environments, with a high rate for precision timing and with cost-effectiveness.
This Special Issue provides an overview of recent advancements and achievements in the application of novel scintillators for radiation monitoring and measurement systems, including advanced scintillators and corresponding novel radiation monitoring systems.

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.
