The main subjects will include theoretical or experimental studies of the physical and chemical processes connected with the generation of atomic or mass spectra; the determination of atomic data; diagnostics for spectrochemical sources; the fundamentals, design or performance of complete instrumental systems, components of instruments, or devices used in any of the above stated fields of spectrometry; qualitative and quantitative analysis in the sense of complete analytical procedures using a single method or a combination of methods, or parts of complete procedures: sampling, sample preparation, sample introduction, detection, data acquisition and handling (including calibration and statistical evaluation); analytical performance and analytical figures of merit: limits of detection and limits of determination, selectivity, precision, accuracy, interferences.Author... and comprehensive review articles, dedicated to a particularly important topic or field of analysis, are published regularly. In addition, shorter, concise reviews or viewpoints focusing on the current status and future prospects of a field or topic particularly relevant to the development of a new analytical methodology or to a better understanding of its fundamental underlying principles are welcome. Tutorial reviews, illustrating in depth fundamental concepts in atomic spectroscopy and analytical atomic spectroscopy, are also published.Articles describing an application of a spectroscopic technique to analysis will also be considered. In this case, however, the spectroscopic flavor of the manuscript should be substantial: mere analytical recipes or papers emphasizing separation and pre-concentration techniques should not be submitted. Finally, to the editors' discretion, accelerated publication of short papers dealing with new important concepts, instrumental developments or applications will be considered.- ISSN: 0584-8547

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
EJMECH (The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry) is a global journal that publishes studies on the main aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original research papers and it welcomes critical review papers.A typical paper would report on the design (with or without the support of computational methods), organic synthesis, characterization and biochemical/pharmaco... evaluation of novel, potent compounds preferentially with a clear (or proven) mechanism of action and/or target. Other topics of interest are molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present a clear rational for a study, provide insight into the strategy and design of compounds and into the mechanism of action, and biological targets. Manuscripts reporting only computational studies are out-of-scope unless a new method (broadly applicable, validated and available to the community) is reported. Authors are kindly invited to look to published articles for the scope of the journal and the organisation of papers.- ISSN: 0223-5234
