Dear Readers and Authors !

It is my great pleasure to present ten best articles published in our Sensors & Transducers Journal (ISSN 1726-5479) in 2009. In this year 230 articles were published in 12 regular and 3 special issues: Robotics and Sensors Environments (selected papers from the 6^th IEEE International Workshop on Robotic and Sensors Environments (ROSE´ 2008), 17-18 October 2008, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada); Modern Sensing Technologies II (selected papers from the 3^rd International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST ´2008),  30 November  - 3 December, 2008, National Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan) and MEMS: from Micro Devices to Wireless Systems (selected papers from the 12^th Annual NSTI Nanotechnology Conference and Trade Show,  3^-7 May, 2009 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, Texas, USA).

At this year a request for articles selection was sent to our 9 editors and more than 300 editorial board members (from academia and industry) from 47 countries. The criterion was the same as in the past years: novelty, innovation, outstanding new research and current importance. We have got a good feedback and I would like thanks to all editors and editorial board members who help us in this very important matter. At the first selection stage 68 articles were nominated and at the second stage ten best articles were chosen on the majority basis. All selected articles are shown in the table below. You can download its full pages versions free of charges.

Taking into account a big number of very good articles published in Sensors & Transducers Journal in 2009 no all of them can be included into the 10 top list of the best articles, but all are available on the Journal's CD.

I hope you will enjoy these selected articles.

Sincerely,
