Impact factor: 5.2

Advances in Sample Preparation is an Open Access journal devoted to publishing high-quality original research, reviews, tutorials and opinion articles covering with all aspects related to sample preparation. The journal welcomes the submission of original manuscripts on all fundamental and applied aspects related to sample preparation, which are at the forefront and cover discoveries in fundamentals, innovations in new extraction principles, materials, techniques and technologies, miniaturization, in vivo and on site sampling, automation, hyphenation, green sample preparation, and impactful applications in e.g. environmental, food and beverages, forensic, plants, pharmaceutical, bioanalysis and biomedical, as well as chemometric and computational approaches of relevance in these contexts. The journal places emphasis on scientifically rigorous studies related to sample preparation and only articles with a clear and strong research justification and novelty will be considered. All articles must align to green sample preparation or green analytical chemistry concepts and propose analytical practices that promote user's safety, safe materials and solvents, fast procedures, minimization of waste and energy. The use of metric tools to evaluate the greenness of the method is encouraged.The Scope for Advances in Sample Preparation includes:Fundamentals related to operational understanding and optimizationNew extraction principles, techniques, and technologiesNew solvents and materials used for extraction and separationInnovative instrumental approaches, automation, and hyphenationIsolation and separation of compounds both at a small or large scaleChemometricsMiniaturization in sample preparation, including microscale and nanoscale systemsGreen sample preparation and related metric toolsSensors and sensing with integrated sample preparationIn vivo and on-site sample preparation technologiesOriginal research articles describing new materials and methodologies should be applied to a sample matrix of suitable analytical complexity and provide evidence that they are substantially superior to any published method. Analytical performance characteristics must be given, including calibration, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, precision, and interferences. The potential for future routine application and automation should also be discussed. Reports of routine research on sample preparation and straightforward applications describing incremental additions to the scientific literature are discouraged. New applications will be accepted only if clearly demonstrate a high level of general importance and interest to the analytical chemistry community at large and if validated and critically compared with standard methods in terms of efficiency, selectivity, clean-up, enrichment, time and green chemistry potential. All manuscripts should relate and discuss experimental data and observations to fundamental theory.Reviews are invited or written with the prior agreement of the journal. In the latter case, topic proposals, including the title and a brief outline, must be emailed in advance to any of the journal's Editors. Review articles must be sufficiently broad in scope and specific enough to permit discussion to be made at an appropriate depth. They must be critical and comprehensive rather than an exhaustive list of published works on the proposed topic. Tutorials should describe the fundamental principles and practical operational details of a given sample preparation method. Opinion articles present the author's viewpoint and promote scientific discourse that challenges the current state of knowledge in any sub-field of sample preparation. Opinion articles are generally based on constructive criticism and should contain published evidence. Manuscripts are considered for publication in Advances in Sample Preparation only on the basis that the work is original and unpublished. The editors and publisher are fundamentally opposed to any form of duplication and plagiarism and immediate actions will be taken in case of an offense.Advances in Sample Preparation is connected to the Sample Preparation Study Group and Network of the European Chemical Society-Division of Analytical Chemistry.

Analytica Chimica Acta

ISSN: 0003-2670
5 Year impact factor: 5.5
Impact factor: 5.7

An International Journal Devoted to All Branches of Analytical ChemistryAnalytica Chimica Acta provides a forum for the rapid publication of original research, and critical, comprehensive reviews dealing with all aspects of fundamental and applied modern analytical chemistry. The journal welcomes the submission of research papers which report studies concerning the development of new and significant analytical methodologies. In determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, particular scrutiny will be placed on the degree of novelty and impact of the research and the extent to which it adds to the existing body of knowledge in analytical chemistry.Manuscripts detailing fundamental research on all aspects of analytical chemistry theory and methodology (including chemometric techniques), such as innovative instrumental, chemical and biological approaches, detectors and sensors, sample treatment methods and data treatment that truly demonstrate new principles and/or important applications are especially encouraged. Analytica Chimica Acta focuses on fundamental new developments in analytical chemistry in general and discourages specialized application oriented submissions that are of interest to a limited number of readers. Papers describing the direct use of routine analytical methodologies or their straightforward/incremental extension of these methods to new sample matrices will normally be rejected unless new and important developments are described which can be demonstrated to give obvious and quantifiable advantages over existing approaches. In all submissions to the journal, authors must address the question of how their proposed methodology compares with those previously reported for the analytes in question even if they employed different techniques. The journal does not focus on application papers, especially those that are straightforward utilizations of commercial instrumentation or other existing techniques, regardless of how complex and expensive they may be. If submitted, application papers must clearly demonstrate a high level of general importance and interest to the analytical chemistry community at large.It will normally be expected that where new analytical methodologies and developments are described these will be applied to a sample matrix of suitable analytical complexity. In such cases appropriate validation of the method must be provided, together with proper statistical treatment of data. Analytical performance characteristics of new methodologies must be given, including calibration, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, precision, and interferences. They must also clearly demonstrate substantial superiority in some important respect over existing alternatives.Reviews are normally written by prior agreement of the reviews editors. Potential authors are encouraged to discuss the subject matter of a proposed review with the review editor, and will be asked to provide a brief outline of the subject matter of the proposed review. Review articles should be sufficiently broad in scope to appeal to a wide cross-section of the journal's readership, but should be specific enough to permit discussion to be made at an appropriate depth. Basic methodology and principles should not be included in reviews, but suitable reference should be made to sources of this information. Above all, reviews should be critical rather than enumerative and should provide the reader with expert opinion regarding the relative merits of the various published approaches to the topic under review. Figures and Tables are encouraged in review articles. Tutorials describing the fundamental principles and practical operational details of a given analytical technique, sample processing approach or chemometric method are also welcome. Perspectives are short articles (max 5,000 words), usually from a single author, that provide a particular viewpoint pertaining to analytical chemistry. At least initially, this will not be an open submission process but, instead, these will be solicited (by invite only) from individuals of high scientific merit and/or influence by the perspective editor. While they should strive for objectivity, their main focus is on the individual viewpoint, and as such may advocate the importance of a particular avenue of scientific investigation, analytical method, or field of application. Perspective manuscripts are typically reviewed by editors or members of the editorial board.Manuscripts are considered for publication in Analytica Chimica Acta only on the basis that the work is original and unpublished. The editors and publisher are fundamentally opposed to any form of duplication and plagiarism and if discovered, not only will the manuscript be immediately rejected, the corresponding author(s) could be banned from future submissions to any Elsevier journal. Depending on the severity of the offense, the incident may also be reported to the responsible authorities at the corresponding author's institution(s).
