We will be publishing a web themed issue comprising work from Central and Eastern Europe in the field of analytical atomic spectrometry. The aim is to highlight, to the wider international community, the achievements in analytical atomic and mass spectrometry made by the researches from this area.
The Guest Editors for this collection are Professor Jiří Dědina of Charles University in Prague, and Professor Pawel Pohl of Wroclaw University of Technology.
Manuscripts are welcome until the submission deadline on 1 June 2012.
If you are an atomic spectrometrist in Central and Eastern Europe, you can submit your paper today!
All articles will be peer-reviewed, and to be suitable for publication, must meet the usual quality and significance standards of the journal. Please indicate in your ‘Comments to the Editor’ or covering letter that your article is to be considered for the Central and Eastern Europe web theme.
Accepted articles will be published as Advance Articles online as soon as they are ready, and published in the next available print issue. All articles will be collected together and featured in an online web theme, which will be available and promoted to our readers in early 2013.
