Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 14th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST 2020) will be held on 25 to 27 November 2020 at Shinshu University in Nagano, Japan. ICST 2020 is intended to provide a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research findings, developments, and applications in the area of sensing technology. ICST 2020 will include keynote addresses by eminent scientists as well as special, regular, and poster sessions. All papers will be peer-reviewed on the basis of a full-length manuscript, and acceptance will be based on quality, originality, and relevance. Authors of selected high-quality papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their original papers (50% extensions of contents of the conference paper) and contributions under but not limited to the following conference topics. In addition to the ICST 2020 papers, other independent submissions are also welcome. The subject of these contributions should be in the scope of the conference topics:
- Vision sensing
- Sensors signal processing
- Sensors and actuators
- Sensors phenomena and modeling
- Sensors characterization
- Smart sensors and sensor fusion
- Electromagnetic sensors
- Chemical and gas sensors
- Physical sensors
- Electronic nose technology
- Biological sensors
- Electro-optic sensors and systems
- Mechanical sensors (inertial, pressure, and tactile)
- Nano sensors
- Ultrasonic, acoustic, noise and vibration sensors
- Wireless sensors and WSN
- Body area network
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Security and reliability of WSN and IoT
- Optical sensors (radiation sensors, plasmonics, meta-material/meta-surface, optoelectronic/photonic sensors, and fibers)
- Lab-on chip
- Sensor arrays
- Intelligent sensing
- Telemetering
- Online monitoring
- Applications of sensors (automotive, medical, environmental monitoring, earthquake life detection, high speed impact, consumer, alarm and security, nautical, aeronautical and space sensor systems, robotics, and automation)
- Solid state sensors
- Sensors for high-energy physics applications
- Particle accelerators and detectors
- Internet-based and other remote data acquisition
- Education using sensors
- Elder care for tomorrow

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.
