Accepting submissions through November 2, 2026!

Journal of Proteome Research is welcoming submissions for its fifth biennial Special Issue: Software Tools and Resources. The goal of this recurring Special Issue is to highlight the latest novel and significantly updated software tools, web applications, and databases that scientists can use for data analysis and visualization in proteomics and related research.

For inclusion in this Special Issue, authors must present either:

🔹A complete description of a relevant novel tool, library, web application, or database (article)
OR
🔹A substantial and meaningful update of a previously published tool or resource (technical note).

The full working tool or database must be available free-of-charge to editors and reviewers for evaluation at the time of manuscript submission.

Advances in computational power are enabling the use of data methods with sensors to achieve new capabilities. Machine learning methods can provide increased specificity and sensitivity for sensing in complex samples relevant to gas sensing, human health, wearable sensors, clinical diagnostics, and more. Further advances indicate possibilities using artificial intelligence to predict improved sensor designs.

This Collection from ACS Sensors highlights recent articles that illustrate opportunities and advances combining machine learning with sensors and the emerging use of artificial intelligence in sensing.

Analytical Chemistry has published reviews since the journal’s founding nearly 100 years ago. The journal now accepts, evaluates, and publishes review articles on a rolling basis throughout the year and then curates them into an annual Special Issue.

This year’s Special Issue features 49 reviews spanning emerging biosensing platforms—including CRISPR-based assays, DNA logic systems, and nanozyme sensors—alongside advances in functional materials such as MOFs, graphene, and nanocomposites.
