Author Guidelines
Manuscript Submission Requirements Checklist
Review Ready Submission: ACS journals have simplified their formatting requirements in favor of a streamlined and standardized review-ready format for an initial manuscript submission
Scope: new and original knowledge on all aspects of sensor science that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes
Analytical data: All analytical data should include uncertainties, comparisons to a standard analytical method, and demonstration of the sensor’s performance in the complex samples for which the device is intended to be used
Cover letter: must include a clear statement of the objective of the study and justification of publication in ACS Sensors; further it should contain the full manuscript title, the name and complete contact information of the corresponding author, the name(s) of any other author(s), a description of any Supporting Information for Publication and/or for Review Only Material, 4 individuals competent to review the manuscript
Structured abstract: the first sentence should outline the objective of the work (i.e., the sensing issue being addressed); the next two to three sentences should describe the methods being used; the final two to three sentences should outline the findings of the study
5-8 keywords: covering the type of sensor and the application area along with more specific keywords related to the submission
References: in the appropriate format which is, for example, Cuartero, M.; Crespo, G. A.; Bakker, E. Paper- Based Thin-Layer Coulometric Sensor for Halide Determination. Anal. Chem. 2015, 87, 1981–1990.
Acronyms: apart from established acronyms well known in the field, these are strongly discouraged
Graphics: easily readable; check font size and avoid inset figures
Safety: authors must emphasize any unexpected, new, and/or significant hazards or risks associated with the reported work
Table of contents graphic: required with the dimensions: 8.25 cm by 4.45 cm (3.25 in by 1.75 in)
Paper lengths: Article <8 pages, letter <4 pages, Sensor Issues ~3 pages, Perspective 6-10 pages, Review 6- 20 pages; justification for longer manuscripts is required
Administrative considerations: All papers must not be under consideration or published elsewhere; manuscripts will be screened with plagiarism software; information on whether the paper has been previously considered elsewhere must be provided; do not forget to list funding sources and ORCID

Scope Of The Journal
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 development of 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 will cover include:
Biosensors
Chemical sensors
Gas sensors
Intracellular sensors
Single molecule sensors
Cell chips
Arrays
Microfluidic devices

Manuscript Types
Articles. The recommended length of an Article is eight journal pages. Rarely, a longer submission may be justified. If so, a convincing justification for the extra length must be made by the authors in their cover letter. The Editor will normally require condensation of longer papers but will consider the justification details provided by the authors.
