Official Journal of MSACLThe Journal of Mass Spectrometry and Advances in the Clinical Lab (JMSACL, formerly known as Clinical Mass Spectrometry) is an open access, pay-what-you-can journal and publishes peer-reviewed articles addressing mass spectrometry and other advances in Laboratory Medicine and Pathology with a focus on development of diagnostic and related applications, including data science, to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.Beyond communication of the application of technologies in the routine clinical diagnostic setting, by publishing critically validated analytical protocols, the journal also addresses the translation of experimental techniques and analytical research into patient care, and the use of these technologies in clinical research and routine patient management. The scope of the journal is not restricted to any particular technology, but covers the entire range of technologies and advancements that are expected to impact the clinical lab.The journal encourages submissions having a clear path to patient care, including basic and translational research, and animal studies.Subject areas covered by the journal include, but are not restricted to:AutomationClinica...
