JAAS leads the way with latest Impact Factor

30 Jun 2011

JAAS stays at the top!

The 2010 Journal Citation Reports® from Thomson Reuters have been released and JAAS has an Impact Factor of 4.372!

That means that JAAS not only remains the leading journal in the field of atomic spectrometry but ranks 5th in all analytical chemistry journals (3rd in those publishing primary research).

A big thank you to our Editorial and Advisory Boards, all our authors, referees and readers for your contribution to the journal’s success.  We look forward to continuing our support of the community by publishing the most innovative research on the fundamental theory and application of spectrometric techniques.
