Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry 30th Anniversary Event

04 Jun 2015

The Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry (JAAS) celebrated its 30^th Anniversary after the closing ceremony of the 6^thAsia-Pacific Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry (2015APWC) at Xiamen (China) on May 22^rd. At the Event, Deputy Editor Rebecca Brodie recalled the origin of JAAS, recounted its history and development, and outlined its current status. With the mutual support of atomic spectrometrists and JAAS, the Journal is ranked as the top journal for original research in Atomic Spectrometry. Prof. Gary Hieftje made a speech representing the Editorial Board and International Advisory Committees of JAAS. He thanked JAAS’s contributors and readers for all their support and hoped for its continuation. He also expressed the appreciation of the JAAS board, the conference attendees, and the foreign visitors towards the 2015APWC organizers and staff for their excellent organization of the event and for their hospitality.

We are delighted to announce we are welcoming nominations for the inaugural JAAS Emerging Investigator Lectureship. Launching to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the journal, the lectureship will be awarded annually from 2015 to recognise and support an emerging scientist working in the area of atomic spectrometry in the early stages of their independent career.

Lectureship details

The recipient of the lectureship will present their research at a relevant high-profile international meeting and receive a contribution of up to £2000 to cover associated travel and accommodation costs. They will be awarded a certificate and asked to contribute a Perspective or research article to JAAS.

Eligibility

The lectureship is open worldwide to researchers working in atomic spectrometry within scope of JAAS who are at an early stage of their independent career. Typically this will be within 10 years of completing their PhD, but appropriate consideration will be given to those who have taken a career break or followed a different study path.

Nominations

Nominations must be received by the Editorial Office by March 1st 2015; researchers cannot nominate themselves and members of the Editorial Board judging panel are not eligible to receive the lectureship.

Nominations must include:

• A letter of recommendation, including achievements and evidence of research independence of the nominee

• A brief biography of the nominee, including a summary of education and career

• A list of relevant publications, highlighting those of particular significance as judged by the nominator

Selection

The lectureship winner will be selected by the JAAS Editorial Board based on the originality, quality, impact and significance of the candidate’s research, as highlighted in their nomination. The winner will be selected at the spring Editorial Board meeting and the recipient announced shortly afterwards.

Submit a nomination

To make a nomination please send the Editorial Office a letter of recommendation, nominee biography and publication list no later than March 1st 2015.

Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: evaluation of three different pneumatic and piezo-based sample introduction systems for the characterization of silver nanoparticles

B. Franze et al

Week 25 is silver! This week’s paper is from our Nanoanalysis themed issue.

A worldwide concern over the toxicity risk of nanoparticles means that it is important to provide analytical tools that can characterize various types of nanomaterials in a sensitive and fast way. In this paper a team from Germany compared three techniques for the characterization of silver nanoparticles.

Hans-Eike Gabler et al.

This week is tin! This week’s paper is from a themed collection from the 2013 European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, Krakow, Poland.

The US Government has classiifed cassiterite (SnO₂) as a ‘conflict mineral’. This means that all companies that use tin in their products must verify that their tin does not originate from conflict regions such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo where there is an ongoing violent conflict. In this paper, Gabler et al. look at a geochemical fingerprinting method for cassiterite based on LA-ICP-MS.
