Biosensors and Bioelectronics is a scientific journal published by Elsevier. While it has an emphasis on the fields of biosensors and bioelectronics, its editors also accept "reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community".[1]
The journal was established in 1985 as the journal Biosensors, and changed its name to Biosensors and Bioelectronics in 1991 after publishing 5 volumes under its original name. The journal was founded by Prof I. John Higgins (Cranfield University, UK), Dr W. Geoff Potter (Science and Engineering Research Council, UK) and Prof Anthony (Tony) P.F. Turner (Cranfield University and, latterly, Linköping University, Sweden). Professor Turner went on to be Managing Editor and then Editor-In-Chief of the journal, a post which he continues to hold today.
The original Editorial Board comprised, in addition, Jiri Janata (Univ. Utah, USA), Chris Lowe (Cambridge Univ. UK), Frieder Scheller (Berin-Buch, Germany), S. Suzuki (Tokyo Institute of Technology), Daniel Thomas (Univ. Compiegne, France) and Lem B. Wingard Jr. (Univ. Pittsburg, USA).
Volume 1 contained 11 papers and covered topics such as enzyme electrodes for diabetes, optical immunosensors and commercialisation of biosensors. In 2012, the journal received over 3,000 submissions and now offers and “open access” option in addition to the conventional publishing model.
In 1990, the journal was complimented with an associated conference, Biosensors 90: the World Congress on Biosensors, chaired by Professor Turner and organised by Elsevier in Singapore at the Mandarin Hotel. The World Congress on Biosensors continues today under the same chair.
