Scope
The Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry (JAAS) is the central journal for publishing innovative research on fundamentals, instrumentation, and methods in the determination, speciation and isotopic analysis of (trace) elements within all fields of application. This includes, but is not restricted to, the most recent progress, developments and achievements in all forms of atomic and elemental detection, isotope ratio determination, molecular analysis, plasma-based analysis and X-ray techniques.
The journal welcomes full papers, communications, technical notes, critical and tutorial review articles, editorials, and comments, in addition to the Atomic Spectrometry Updates (ASU) literature reviews that are prepared by an expert panel.
Submissions are welcome in the following areas, but note this list reflects the current scope and authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Editorial team if they believe that their work offers potentially new and emerging research relevant to the journal remit:
Fundamental studies in the following.
New and existing sources for atomic emission, absorption, fluorescence and mass spectrometry and those that provide both atomic and molecular information
Sample introduction techniques for solids, liquids, gases
Improvements in sensitivity, selectivity, precision, accuracy and/or robustness
Isotope ratio measurements, including techniques for improving precision and mass bias correction
Single channel and multichannel simultaneous detection systems
Chemometrics, statistics, calibration techniques and internal standardisation
Theoretical and numerical modelling of fundamental processes related to all of the above methodologies

Novel or improved methodologies in areas of application including, but not limited to the following.
Biosciences, including elemental, speciation and isotopic analysis in biological systems, immunoassays based on metal-labeled antibodies, bio-imaging, and nanoparticle toxicology
Geochemistry
Environmental science
Materials science, including engineered nanoparticles and quantum dots
Metrology, including reference materials
Forensic analysis
Food and agricultural sciences
Energy
Archaeometry
Molecular analysis.
Molecular sources for elemental and isotopic analysis
Atomic sources for molecular analysis
Atomic and molecular techniques simultaneously used for complementary chemical information
All contributions are judged on originality and quality of scientific content, and appropriateness of length to content of new science.
Article types
JAAS publishes:
Communications
Full papers
Technical notes
Critical reviews
Tutorial reviews
Perspectives
Comments
Communications
These must report preliminary research findings that are highly original, of immediate interest and are likely to have a high impact on the analytical spectroscopy community. Communications are given priority treatment, are fast-tracked through the publication process and appear prominently at the front of the journal in a dedicated Communications section.
The key aim of Communications is to present innovative chemical concepts with important analytical implications. As such, Communications need only demonstrate 'proof of principle': it is not expected that the analytical figures of merit will necessarily surpass those of existing, highly refined analytical techniques.
Authors should provide at the time of submission a short paragraph explaining why their work justifies urgent publication as a Communication. Ideally, a Full paper in JAAS should follow each Communication.
There is no page limit for communications in JAAS, however the length should be commensurate with scientific content. Authors are encouraged to make full use of electronic supplementary information in order to present more concise articles.
Full papers
Full papers must represent a significant development in the particular field of analysis and are judged according to originality, quality of scientific content and contribution to existing knowledge. Although there is no page limit for Full papers, appropriateness of length to content of new science will be taken into consideration.
Technical notes
These should be brief descriptions of instrumental developments, techniques or applications that offer definite advantages over those already available.
Technical notes should offer practical solutions to problems that are of interest to the JAAS readership and merit publication, but neither a Full paper nor a Communication is justified. Publication as a Technical note does not diminish the importance of the article. This article type is a recognition that much of the presented material has been reported previously, and allows a focus on the improvements in the method and the results obtained.
Wherever appropriate, authors of Technical notes are encouraged to use references to the established technique, explaining in full only what is novel about the proposed approach. The length of a Technical note should be commensurate with its scientific content. Authors are encouraged to make full use of electronic supplementary information in order to present more concise articles.
Review articles
A range of review articles are published in JAAS. Potential writers should contact the editorial office before embarking on their work.
Critical review
Critical reviews should be definitive, evaluative reviews and must provide a critical overview of the chosen topic area. Authors should be selective in the choice of material, offering personal opinions where appropriate, whilst still covering all the important topics in the field, and indicating possible future developments.
Tutorial review
Tutorial reviews are written from a personal point of view, and ideally should be the first review of a new significant area, bringing together the results of various primary publications.
Tutorial reviews are intended to interest a large number of readers and should be written at a level that could be understood by an advanced undergraduate student.
The intention is to increase awareness and understanding of the chosen topic area for workers/researchers already involved in the field, workers changing the direction/emphasis of their work and a broad based non-specialist (graduate and post-graduate) audience, with a view to informing them of the most recent developments in the area.
Perspective
Perspectives are written at a philosophical level either on a particular aspect of analytical spectroscopy or on a topic of relevance or potential relevance to the community.
The article should be easily understandable to a non-specialist in the field. At the same time, Perspectives should provide an authoritative discussion of the area concerned.
Authors are encouraged to identify areas where further developments are imminent, in urgent need of being addressed, and any areas that may be of significance to the analytical science community in general.
Comments
Comments and Replies are a medium for the discussion and exchange of scientific opinions between authors and readers concerning material published in JAAS.
For publication, a Comment should present an alternative analysis of and/or new insight into the previously published material. Any Reply should further the discussion presented in the original article and the Comment. Comments and Replies that contain any form of personal attack are not suitable for publication.
Comments that are acceptable for publication will be forwarded to the authors of the work being discussed, and these authors will be given the opportunity to submit a Reply. The Comment and Reply will both be subject to rigorous peer review in consultation with the journal’s Editorial Board where appropriate. The Comment and Reply will be published together.
Journal specific guidelines
For guidance on preparing your article please visit our Prepare your article and Resources for authors pages, the content of which is relevant to all of our journals. Note that some journals have additional specific guidelines.
All submitted Communications, Technical notes and Full papers must include a 'Significance to JAAS' statement (no more than 100 words) that states how the work fits within the scope of the journal and highlights the novelty of the research to the atomic spectrometry community.
The statement should be written in plain language that is accessible to a broad, non-technical audience. It should not be a summary of the work reported, please do not repeat the article’s abstract. The statement will be seen by reviewers during the peer review process.
Bibliographic references should be listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order as they appear in the manuscript. Bibliographic details should be cited in the order: year, volume, page, and must include the article title. For example: Érico Marlon de Moraes Flores, Analytical atomic spectrometry in South America – increasing the development and international cooperation in atomic spectrometric analysis, J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2018, 33, 2032-2033.
