Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasma Science and Engineering is a multidisciplinary area encompassing some of the most exciting fundamental and applied research themes in today's scientific landscape, with an extraordinarily broad impact in science, technology, and industry.
Measuring the parameters of plasmas, usually termed as plasma diagnostics, is a key challenge in these applications, both for understanding the basic principles and, in many cases, for the optimization and control of processes. There are many different measurement and diagnostics systems to detect plasma parameters in magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as induction coils, CCD, laser-aided devices, spectroscopy, and microwaves, all of which are used for machine operation and physics analysis.
Plasma diagnostics is based on a wide variety of characteristic plasma phenomena and, although most of the techniques used are already well established, it remains a highly challenging and fascinating discipline.
This Special Issue will cover the methods, instruments, and experimental techniques used to measure the properties of plasma.

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.
