• Impact factor: 3.269 
• Immediacy index 0.599 
• Cross-disciplinary, comprehensive subject coverage
• Emerging areas are highlighted in special issues
• Includes Chemical Science    

*Based on the ISI JCR 2007 Science Edition

Description: JAAS is widely considered to be the number-one journal publishing innovative research on the fundamental theory, practice and analytical application of spectrophotometric techniques to elemental research.

JAAS  contains peer-reviewed full research papers, technical notes, urgent communications, selected review articles.

Six popular Atomic Spectrometry Updates are published each year that critically review the most significant research in the field of analytical atomic spectroscopy and assessed from recently published literature.

Authors and readers of JAAS  benefit from enhanced HTML journal articles, thanks to Project Prospect. Features include: 

• IUPAC Gold Book terms linked
• Hyperlinked compound information in text
• Ontology terms linked to definitions and related articles      

RSC Journal RSS feeds now include structured subject and compound information, enabling at-a-glance identification of relevant articles.

Readership is cross-disciplinary and includes: analytical atomic spectrometrists; mass spectrometrists; geochemists; environmental and organometallic chemists at universities and related academic institutes, government and research organisations, industry, independent laboratories and consulting firms.

Abstracts: Cited in various databases including Analytical Abstracts

Techniques covered in JAAS include: plasma based methods, flame and furnace based methods, sampling and sample preparation, hyphenated techniques for sample introduction, sample fractionation and speciation, atomic mass spectrometry, laser Spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy based methods, surface analytical techniques and statistics, modelling and chemometrics for atomic spectroscopy.
