Analyst
The home of premier fundamental discoveries, inventions and applications in the analytical and bioanalytical sciences.
Open Access: Hybrid
Scope
At Analyst, we publish both primary research and review articles, ensuring a comprehensive coverage of significant advancements in analytical measurement technology. Our broad scope spans fundamental breakthroughs and practical developments with applications across the full spectrum of the analytical sciences. We welcome submissions on a wide range of groundbreaking topics, including but not limited to:
- Biological and chemical sensors
- Biomedical analysis and diagnostics
- Electrochemistry
- High throughput screening advances, including lab automation
- Imaging techniques
- Machine learning, AI, and data processing in measurement science
- Mass spectrometry
- Microfluidics and miniaturized analysis systems
