Semiotica, the Journal of the International Association for Semiotic Studies, was founded in 1969 and appears in five volumes of four issues per year, in two languages (English and French), and occasionally in German.Semiotica features articles reporting results of research in all branches of semiotic studies, in-depth reviews of selected current literature in the field, and occasional guest editorials and reports. From time to time, Special Issues, devoted to topics of particular interest, are assembled by Guest Editors.The publishers of Semiotica offer an annual prize, the Mouton d'Or, to the author of the best article each year. The article is selected by an independent international jury.Semiotica is a peer-reviewed journal of international scope.

Sensing & Instrumentation for Food Quality and Safety is an interdisciplinary journal which presents the latest research in measurement and detection methodologies and techniques for the assessment, monitoring, and control of food quality and safety.The scope of the journal encompasses all topics related to food quality and safety evaluation and analysis. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:  Biological or microbiological, chemical, physical, and engineering principles, methods and mechanisms for food quality, safety, and security analysis; Methods and techniques for food property characterization and measurement; Development and application of sensing, imaging, and detection modalities; Non-destructive non-contact evaluations of food quality; Introduction of emerging sensing techniques to the field; State-of-the-art reviews on sensing techniques; Statistical, mathematical and computer methods for food quality and safety analysis; Instrumentation development and evaluation; Industrial implementation considerations (case studies); System development and validation for food quality control, assurance, safety and security.

Sensor Review is internationally regarded as the authoritative voice on all areas of sensor development, providing reviews, research and analysis of an exciting and increasingly influential field.

Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of sensors and biosensors. It publishes reviews (including comprehensive reviews on the complete sensors products), regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
