History

• The journal was created in 1990, when the earlier title Sensors and Actuators, published from 1981, was continued in part by two new titles, A: Physical and B: Chemical该刊于 1990 年由 1981 年创刊的（Sensors and Actuators）分拆而成，新刊分为 A 辑（物理）与 B 辑（化学）。
• It began under Elsevier Sequoia of Lausanne, Switzerland, and is published today by Elsevier with the online ISSN 1873-3077 and print ISSN 0925-4005该刊创刊时由瑞士洛桑的（Elsevier Sequoia）出版，现由（Elsevier）出版，电子刊号 1873-3077，纸质刊号 0925-4005。
• The journal appears semimonthly, with twenty-four volumes and twenty-four issues in each publishing year该刊为半月刊，每个出版年出 24 卷、24 期。
• Articles are published either by subscription or through open access on payment of an article publishing charge of 4,890 United States dollars文章可以订阅方式发表，也可支付 4890 美元文章处理费后以开放获取方式发表。
• Purely theoretical works are not accepted, and sensing applications are considered only for analytically challenging and properly validated samples纯理论研究不予接收，传感应用仅在面向分析困难的样品且经充分验证时才被考虑。
• Its Journal Impact Factor stood at 8.3 in 2025, ranking second among 81 journals in instruments and instrumentation and seventh among 110 in analytical chemistry该刊 2025 年影响因子为 8.3，在仪器仪表类 81 种期刊中列第 2 位，在分析化学类 110 种期刊中列第 7 位。
