The Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry is
devoted to the publication of research papers covering all
aspects of mass
spectrometry. Papers from all fields of
scientific inquiry in which mass spectrometry can play a
role will be considered. These fields
include chemistry,
physics, geology, and environmental science as well as
the biological, health, and life sciences.
The journal
is intended to be comprehensive, and its
aim is to publish papers on both fundamentals and
applications of mass spectrometry. Fundamental
subjects
include, but are not restricted to, instrumentation principles,
design, and demonstration, structures and chemical
properties
of gas-phase ions, studies of thermodynamic
properties, ion spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, mechanisms
of ionization, theories of ion
fragmentation, cluster
ions, and potential energy surfaces.
Application papers should have as a principal focus the
use of mass spectrometry
to solve a qualitative or quantitative
problem. Application subjects include, but are not
limited to, structural elucidation, biopolymer
sequencing,
development or validation of new methodology, and environmental
and forensic measurements. Papers describing
computer applications
will be considered, but details and
compilations of programs will not be published.
In addition to full papers, the journal will publish
Communications, Application Notes, and Accounts and
Perspectives. Although Accounts and Perspectives will typically be
invited by the
editor, proposals may be submitted in
advance of preparing the article.

Free Access to the Recent Archive
In January 2006, Elsevier implemented a policy of giving free access to the
recent online archive of the Journal of the American Society for Mass (JASMS). The recent archive of JASMS includes content that is 12
months old or older and dates back to volume 1, issue 1. Each month as new issues are published, the freely accessible archive grows
as issues that are older than 12 months are added to the recent archive.
Free access to the recent archive is available via ScienceDirect and on the ASMS sites
