Most popular papers of 2010

15 Mar 2011

2010 was the first full year of publication for Analytical Methods, and we’re delighted with how things went: a huge thank you to all authors and referees in their contribution to a successful 12 months!

But what were people reading the most? Here we give you a selection of some of the most popular Analytical Methods articles from last year. They cover topics such as glucosinolates and pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, detection of apoptosis and illegal components of herbal products.

They’ll be free to access until the end of April, so have a read and do pass on the information to any colleagues who may be interested.

Why do you think these articles were so popular? We’d appreciate your comments, which can be posted below.
