Journal overview

Critical Reviews in Analytical Chemistry continues to be a dependable resource for both the expert and the student by providing in-depth, scholarly, insightful reviews of important topics within the discipline of analytical chemistry and related measurement sciences. The journal exclusively publishes review articles that illuminate the underlying science, that evaluate the field's status by putting recent developments into proper perspective and context, and that speculate on possible future developments. A limited number of articles are of a "tutorial" format written by experts for scientists seeking introduction or clarification in a new area.

This journal serves as a forum for linking various underlying components in broad and interdisciplinary means, while maintaining balance between applied and fundamental research. Topics we are interested in receiving reviews on are the following:

  • chemical analysis
  • instrumentation
  • chemometrics
  • analytical biochemistry
  • medicinal analysis
  • forensics
  • environmental sciences
  • applied physics
  • and material science

The journal has limited space for single-target pharmaceutical analysis papers. Authors wishing an editorial opinion on the appropriateness of the proposed review topic, the perspective that will be taken, and/or the manuscript’s length are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief, Stephen E. Bialkowski. There is no requirement to do this, but early communication can facilitate the review process as soon as the manuscript is formally submitted.
