Analytica Chimica Acta provides a forum for the rapid publication of original research, and critical reviews dealing with all
aspects of fundamental and applied modern analytical science. 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 significance of the research and the extent to which it
adds to existing knowledge in analytical chemistry.
Manuscripts detailing fundamental research on all aspects of analytical theory
and methodology (including chemometric techniques), such as innovative instrumental, chemical and biological approaches, detectors and
sensors, sample treatment methods and data treatment are especially encouraged. On the other hand, papers describing the use of routine
analytical methods or straightforward extension of these methods to new sample matrices will normally not be published unless new developments
are described which can be demonstrated to give very clear and quantifiable advantages over existing methods. In all submissions to the
journal, authors must address the question of how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
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 should be provided, together with proper statistical
treatment of data. Analytical performance characteristics of new methods should be given, including sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy,
precision, and interferences.
Reviews are normally written by prior agreement of the 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.
