Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decade, the advent of MEMS technology has led to the possibility of using these types of low-cost and low-power-consuming sensors in many fields of engineering and measurement science. In the particular case of vibration and dynamic motion control, MEMS accelerometers have opened the way to an unprecedented number of applications in many industrial processes, such as smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and the IoT, as well as in many other currently widespread applications, such as environmental, seismic, and infrastructure surveys, navigation and positioning systems, remote surgery and diagnoses, health feedback surveys, and environmental/natural hazards. MEMS accelerometers can also be designed with ad hoc characteristics, depending on the application, and allow the study of large-scale physical phenomena through their aggregation in sensor networks. Overall, data quality is of paramount importance in all of these applications. Thus, data characterization and calibration is also fundamental to obtain reliable and, in some cases, traceable measurements.
This Special Issue aims to bring together contributions that can highlight the potential of analogue and digital MEMS accelerometers in measuring science and in improving measurement reliability in applied sciences and engineering.
This invitation for contributions is addressed to manuscripts in the form of research articles, review articles, and case study investigations that combine theoretical research and experimental applications related to the design, modeling, fabrication, calibration, characterization, and use of MEMS accelerometers. Moreover, submissions on real-life applications and simulations of MEMS accelerometer-based sensor networks in different environments are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
