Analytical Sciences

Analytical Sciences is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes research across all areas of analytical chemistry. It is the official journal of the Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry (JSAC), a Japanese learned society. The journal was established in 1984 and has been published continuously since then. It appears monthly, with twelve issues per year, and features original research papers, reviews, and notes on analytical methods, instrumentation, and applications. The journal's editorial operations are managed by an editorial board appointed by JSAC. For most of its history, the journal was hosted on the JSAC website and offered free access to accepted papers. In 2021, JSAC contracted with Springer Nature to publish the journal starting with Volume 38 (2022). The editorial board remains with JSAC, ensuring continuity in peer review and editorial standards. Under the new arrangement, the journal transitioned from free access to an open access model, with article processing charges (APCs) paid by authors or institutions to make papers fully open to all readers. Analytical Sciences is indexed in major databases and has historically received an impact factor. In 2014, its impact factor was 1.394, ranking it 51st out of 74 journals in the Analytical Chemistry category according to ISI Web of Knowledge. The journal serves a global community of analytical chemists and is available through Springer Nature's platform. Its scope includes fundamental and applied research in analytical chemistry, including spectroscopy, chromatography, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, and sensor development.

Analytical Sciences was established in 1984 by the Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry (JSAC), a Japanese scientific society dedicated to the advancement of analytical chemistry. The journal was created to provide a platform for original research in analytical chemistry, covering fundamental and applied aspects. From its inception, the journal was published by JSAC and hosted on its website. It appeared monthly, with twelve issues per year, and included research papers, reviews, and notes. The journal's editorial board, composed of experts in analytical chemistry, managed the peer review process. The journal gained recognition in the international analytical chemistry community and was indexed in major databases. In 2014, its impact factor was 1.394, and it was ranked 51st out of 74 journals in the Analytical Chemistry category by ISI Web of Knowledge. For many years, the journal operated on a free access model, where accepted papers were made freely available on the JSAC website. This changed in 2021 when JSAC signed a contract with Springer Nature to publish the journal starting with Volume 38 (2022). The editorial board remained with JSAC, ensuring editorial continuity. The journal transitioned to an open access model, where authors pay an article processing charge (APC) to make their papers fully open to all readers. The journal's website moved to Springer Nature's platform on December 31, 2021, and the old JSAC site ceased updates. Under Springer Nature, the journal continues to publish twelve issues per year and maintains its scope across all areas of analytical chemistry. The journal is available through Springer Nature's website, and submissions are handled via the new platform. The journal also offers advance online publication for accepted manuscripts.
