Aims & Scope

Aims

Bioelectrochemistry and Biosensors (BEBS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access, multidisciplinary journal focused on novel approaches in Bioelectrochemistry, Biosensors, Bioactuators, and Bioelectronic systems and devices. The research papers, reviews, and short communications focused on the synthesis, characterization, and application of new materials (e.g., micro- and nano-materials, polymers, hydrogels, etc.) for biosensor use are also welcomed. Special attention will be paid to the state-of-the-art research related to point-of-care usage of the developed biosensors approaches and devices by the end-point users in medical diagnostics, medicine, industrial technological processes control, products certification, environmental safety, security, defense, and forensics. The journal also strongly encourages interdisciplinary contributions in bioinorganic chemistry and biocatalysis, including the role of metal ions in biological systems, medicine, toxicology, and environmental processes, as well as the development of artificial metalloenzymes and chemically modified enzymes for bioelectronic and biosensing applications. However, interesting historical and educational-focused papers in the field are also acceptable. BEBS is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.
