The Most Cited Journal in Analytical Chemistry

Analytical Chemistry is a peer-reviewed research journal that is devoted to the dissemination of new and original knowledge in all branches of analytical chemistry. Articles fit our scope that describe new or expanded chemical measurement approaches or that uniquely address the principles and performance of existing approaches. Articles may be theoretical or they may report experimental results. Papers dealing with established analytical methods must offer a significantly improved, original application of the method.

Subfields covered in Analytical Chemistry can include the following, as long as the manuscript focuses on improving our understanding of chemical measurements:

• Analytical operations (e.g., sampling, measurements, data analysis)
• Bioanalytical chemistry
• Bioengineering
• Chemical analysis
• Environmental sciences
• Forensics
• Materials Science
• Medical Sciences

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Chemical reactions and selectivity
• Chemometrics and data processing
• Computation, machine learning, and informatics
• Electrochemistry
• Elemental and molecular characterization
• Imaging
• Immunoassays, enzyme assays, and related technologies
• Instrumentation
• Mass Spectrometry
• Microscale and nanoscale analytical systems
• Nuclear magnetic resonance
• Omics research (e.g., proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, lipidomics)
• Sensing science
• Separations
• Spectroscopy
• Surface Analysis

Analytical Letters is an international medium for the rapid publication of original research papers, accelerated articles, or mini-reviews on important developments in all areas of analytical chemistry, including electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, separations, and spectroscopy. Papers are welcomed that consider fundamental developments, new or improved instrumentation and sensors, and applications of analytical chemistry in all areas that include biological and clinical science, engineering and instrumentation science, environmental chemistry and analysis, geochemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, and physics.

Analytical Methods welcomes early applications of new analytical and bioanalytical methods and technology demonstrating the potential for societal impact. We require that methods and technology reported in the journal are sufficiently innovative, robust, accurate, and compared to other available methods for the intended application. Developments with interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. Systems should be proven with suitably complex and analytically challenging samples. We encourage developments within, but not limited to, the following technologies and applications: global health, point-of-care and molecular diagnostics; biosensors and bioengineering; drug development and pharmaceutical analysis; applied microfluidics and nanotechnology; -omics studies, such as proteomics, metabolomics or glycomics; environmental, agricultural and food science; neuroscience; biochemical and clinical analysis; forensic analysis; industrial process and method development.

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (ABC) is a truly international journal with a mission to publish excellent research papers from all areas of analytical and bioanalytical science.

The Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry, first published in 2008, provides a perspective on the field of analytical chemistry.

The Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, publishing July 2010, aims to provide a perspective on the broad field of chemical (and related) engineering. It will address advances in applied chemistry and biology, with a focus on concepts, old and new materials, and/or processes. The journal will draw from disciplines as diverse as biology, physics, and engineering, with development of chemical products and processes as the unifying theme.

The Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, in publication since 1950, covers significant developments in the field of physical chemistry, including biophysical chemistry, chemical kinetics, colloids, electrochemistry, geochemistry and cosmochemistry, chemistry of atmosphere and climate, laser chemistry and ultrafast processes, the liquid state, magnetic resonance, physical organic chemistry, polymers and macromolecules, and more.

Anti-Cancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments in medicinal chemistry and rational drug design for the discovery of anti-cancer agents.
