ACS Sensors

ACS Sensors是一本致力于传播有关传感器科学（选择性感知化学或生物物质和过程）各方面新认知的同行评议期刊。 期刊文章会探讨适用于多种类型分析物的传感技术的新概念，或采用已有的传感概念但以新的方式或新的被分析物进行论述。应用性论文应说明所述传感器能在复杂样品中使用，以表明其能达到检测目的，并阐述该传感器的性能与现有分析方法之间的相关性。文章可专注于传感器的商业化开发，也可以侧重于为提供新认知而研发的传感器。 既可以是纯理论，也可以是实验结果。
ACS Sensors is a peer-reviewed research journal that is devoted to the dissemination of new and original knowledge on all aspects of sensor science that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes. Articles may address conceptual advances in sensing that are applicable to many types of analytes or application papers which report on the use of an existing sensing concept in a new way or for a new analyte. Application papers should demonstrate the use of the sensor in complex samples, show it is fit-for-purpose, and exhibit a correlation of the sensor’s performance with an existing analytical method. Papers may focus on sensor development for commercialization or developing sensors that are used to provide new scientific knowledge. Articles may be entirely theoretical with regard to sensing, or they may report experimental results. The types of sensors the journal covers include: Biosensors, Chemical sensors, Gas sensors, Intracellular sensors, Single molecule sensors, Cell chips, Arrays, and Microfluidic devices.

Primary research papers include Letters and Articles. Note that the maximum length of Letters is four journal pages and Articles are eight. In addition, the journal publishes Reviews, Perspectives, Sensor Issues and Introducing Our Authors. Perspectives should report the authors’ opinion on important new directions in sensing and discuss the nature of the opportunities perceived. Reviews can cover conceptual advances in sensing, review a class of sensor or analyte, or can be more of a tutorial that addresses a specific challenge in sensing and approaches to overcoming it. Sensor Issues will guide the community and new entrants to sensors on where the opportunities and challenges are by highlighting specific sensing issues. Introducing our Authors will feature two authors per issue discussing their scientific and non-scientific accomplishments. See the Author Guidelines for more information on the journal, the manuscript types, and how to estimate paper length.
