Journal scope
Analyst has been at the forefront of analytical and bioanalytical science since 1876, publishing high-quality research that offers new insights and innovative measurement solutions to core challenges in the field. We welcome submissions on a wide range of groundbreaking topics, including but not limited to:
- Biological and chemical sensors
- Biomedical analysis and diagnostics
- Electrochemistry
- High throughput screening advances, including lab automation
- Imaging techniques
- Machine learning, AI, and data processing in measurement science
- Mass spectrometry
- Microfluidics and miniaturized analysis systems
- Nanoscience applied to measurement science
- Pharmaceutical analysis
- Chemical informatics including proteomics, metabolomics, and other 'omics
- Separation science
- Spectroscopy
- Surface analysis
At Analyst, we publish both primary research and review articles, ensuring a comprehensive coverage of significant advancements in analytical measurement technology. Our broad scope spans fundamental breakthroughs and practical developments with applications across the full spectrum of the analytical sciences.
However, we do not consider submissions that focus on:
- Routine uses of established analytical techniques and methods
- Synthesis, characterization, or development of materials and synthetic approaches that do not introduce novel measurement methods or innovative applications for enhanced sensing or performance
- Applying existing methods to new targets without significant novelty
- Statistical analysis that lacks a clear analytical purpose
We invite you to join us in advancing the field of measurement science by contributing your innovative research to Analyst.
