Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Both research and technological development in magnetic sensors have flourished over the past few decades, driven by and at the same time enabling new applications in many areas of modern life.
Magnetic sensors are used for magnetic data recording; for automation, control and robotics in industry, in vehicles and vessels, in home systems, and in many other electromechanical applications; for detection and mapping in the petroleum industry, archaeology, geophysical studies, military operations, and nondestructive testing; for ground, sea, air and space navigation; for medical and biomedical applications ranging from magnetocardiography to brain magnetic imaging and biological and chemical testing; and, of course, for science experiments instrumentation. The list of applications is long and is constantly expanding with the miniaturization of the sensors as smaller form-factors enable more portable, wearable, and implantable applications.
Magnetic sensors’ operation can be based on a variety of physical phenomena, including the magnetotransport effect, magnetostriction effect, magneto-optical effect, magneto-impedance effect, Hall effect, nuclear magnetic resonance, and several quantum effects, as well as the induction law. The exploitation of any of these phenomena typically requires the appropriate system and electronic circuit architecture and possibly some signal processing for noise and interference reduction. The combination of all the above aspects impacts the sensor’s performance, reliability, operating conditions, and physical specifications, including size, weight, and power requirements, and of course the cost, resulting in relative advantages and disadvantages for a particular application.
In the forthcoming Special Issue on “Magnetic Sensors 2021”, we would like to invite manuscripts on all aspects of magnetic sensors, including their physics and operating principles, materials, design, modelling, characterization and calibration, instrumentation techniques, and of course applications. Both review and original research articles are encouraged.
Indicative topics include but are not limited to:
Biomedical applications
Calibration methodologies and techniques
Induction effects, materials, and sensors
Magnetic impedance tomography
Magnetostriction effects, materials, and sensors
Micro and nanoscale sensors
New transport effects and materials
Non-destructive evaluation and testing
System and circuit level architectures

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.
