Abstract Since the mid‐1990s, surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has advanced greatly and gained wider application and a renewal of interest. There have been several new and creative developments, e.g. SERS of single molecules, nanostructures and transition metals, tip‐enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), surface‐enhanced hyper‐Raman scattering (SEHRS), ultraviolet‐excited SERS (UV‐SERS) and surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS), and their wide applications in biology, medicine, materials science and electrochemistry. It is timely to publish a special issue reporting these initiatives and the progress made in the past 7 years. This issue consists of 30 invited articles that are roughly divided into three SERS research themes: theories, methods and applications. These up‐to‐date representatives of the research results clearly show that SERS is important not only for Raman spectroscopy and surface science but also for nanoscience.
