The IEEE Sensors Letters is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the IEEE Sensors Council.^[1]

It focuses on the rapid dissemination of short research articles in the field of sensors and sensing technologies.^[2] The journal is published electronically and follows a hybrid open-access model, allowing authors the option to make their work openly accessible for a fee.^[3]

History

IEEE Sensors Letters was established in February 2017 as a platform for timely publication of short research contributions in sensor-related disciplines.^[4] The journal was developed to accommodate manuscripts that report significant developments requiring expedited review and dissemination.^[4] Since its launch, it has maintained a peer-reviewed editorial process and publishes articles exclusively in electronic format.^[4]

Content overview

IEEE Sensors Letters publishes short-format articles in the field of sensors and sensing technologies.^[5] The journal's scope includes topics such as the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing, signal processing, interface circuits, and applications of devices for detecting and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena.^[5] Submissions are limited to four pages in length, with a requirement that at least one column of each paper be allocated to references.^[5]

The journal presents the IEEE Sensors Letters Best Paper and Runner Up Award annually. ^[6]^[7] These recognitions are given to papers published in the previous calendar year and are evaluated based on criteria such as scientific quality, originality, relevance to the field, and timeliness.^[6] The Best Paper Award includes a certificate and a cash prize of $2,000, distributed among the authors, while the Runner Up Award includes a certificate.^[6]
