ECS Sensors Plus × IMCS
ECS Sensors Plus, a gold open-access journal of The Electrochemical Society, and the International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS) share a mission to advance sensor science and technology. This focus issue brings that partnership together — inviting novel, significant research that pushes the field forward and reaches a global community through open access.
A welcome to contributors
“ECS Sensors Plus is delighted to partner with IMCS, the world’s largest interdisciplinary conference dedicated to chemical and biochemical sensors. Our shared commitment to advancing sensor science and technology comes together in this special issue, creating an opportunity for conference contributors to publish their most impactful research in a high-visibility, fully open-access venue.
To further support the dissemination of groundbreaking research, all article processing charges (APCs) will be waived for authors contributing to both the IMCS conference program and this special issue of ECS Sensors Plus.
On behalf of our outstanding team of editors and staff, I warmly invite you to contribute your work and join us in showcasing rigorous, innovative, and transformative advances in sensor science. We look forward to working with you to ensure that the latest discoveries in our field are disseminated broadly and openly to the global research community.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. I look forward to working with you and celebrating the exciting science that will emerge from this collaboration.”
