LCGC North America

LCGC North America is a specialized scientific journal and content brand dedicated to the field of separation science, particularly liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC). Founded in 1983 under the name Liquid Chromatography and HPLC Magazine, it was later shortened to LC GC and, in 1999, renamed LCGC North America. The publication is issued twelve times per year and is published by Advanstar Communications. It serves laboratory-based analytical chemists and chromatographers by providing peer-reviewed articles, troubleshooting advice, and best-practice application solutions. The journal is part of the broader LCGC International portfolio, which includes print and digital platforms such as websites, newsletters, ebooks, webcasts, and special issues. LCGC North America covers key growth areas in separation science, including sample preparation, mass spectrometry, and other separation techniques. Its content is aimed at enhancing productivity and efficiency in analytical laboratories. The journal has an impact factor of 0.519 as of 2014, ranking 67th out of 74 journals in the analytical chemistry category according to ISI Web of Knowledge. Despite its relatively modest impact factor, LCGC North America remains a widely read and influential resource in the chromatography community, offering practical information that gives chemists a competitive advantage in real-world challenges.

LCGC North America was established in 1983 under the title Liquid Chromatography and HPLC Magazine. The publication initially focused on liquid chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), reflecting the growing importance of these techniques in analytical chemistry. In its early years, the magazine provided a platform for researchers and practitioners to share methods, applications, and troubleshooting tips. Over time, the scope expanded to include gas chromatography and other separation techniques, leading to the abbreviated name LC GC. In 1999, the journal was renamed LCGC North America to better reflect its regional focus and its broader coverage of separation science. The journal is published by Advanstar Communications, a publishing company that also oversees other LCGC titles such as LCGC Europe and LCGC Asia Pacific. LCGC North America has been issued twelve times per year, maintaining a regular publication schedule that serves the North American chromatography community. It is part of the LCGC International brand, which encompasses a range of digital and print platforms including websites, newsletters, ebooks, webcasts, and special issues. The editorial content is guided by an editorial advisory board and aims to provide unbiased, peer-reviewed articles and practical solutions. In 2014, the journal had an impact factor of 0.519 and was ranked 67th out of 74 journals in the analytical chemistry category by ISI Web of Knowledge. Despite this ranking, LCGC North America remains a key resource for chromatographers, offering insights into new technologies, applications, and regulatory developments. The publication has evolved with the industry, covering emerging areas such as PFAS analysis, microplastics, and green chromatography, as evidenced by recent articles and product showcases on its website.
