The Journal of Chromatography A provides a forum for the publication of original research and critical reviews on all aspects
of fundamental and applied separation science. The scope of the journal includes chromatography and related techniques, electromigration
techniques (e.g. electrophoresis, electrochromatography), hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, sample preparation, and
detection methods such as mass spectrometry. Contributions consist mainly of research papers dealing with the theory of separation methods,
instrumental developments and analytical and preparative applications of general interest.
Journal of Chromatography A
welcomes the submission of research papers which report on studies concerning the development of new and significant advances in separation
science. Manuscripts detailing fundamental research on all aspects of separation science theory and methodology are especially encouraged.
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 separation science. Papers describing the use
of routine separation methods or straightforward extensions of these methods to new sample matrices will normally not be published unless
new developments are described which are demonstrated to give clear and considerable advantages over existing methods. As part of the
Introduction section to each manuscript, authors must address the question of how their proposed methodology compares with previously
reported methods and this comparison must show that significant advances are proposed.
Where new analytical methods are described,
authors are encouraged to apply these methods 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, tested limits of detection or quantification, accuracy, precision, and specificity.
Review articles are invited by the editors or may be proposed in writing to the editors or the editorial office, who welcome suggestions
for review topics. Potential authors 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 at an appropriate depth. 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.
Journal of Chromatography A applies the same criteria for acceptance of manuscripts
to all types of submissions, irrespective of whether these are submitted for regular issues, special issues, or symposium issues.
