We are delighted to announce that the JAAS themed issue dedicated to Barry Sharp is now online. The issue features papers in celebration of Barry Sharp’s significant contribution to analytical science over his career, click through to read the introduction by Les Ebdon.
In addition to his extensive scientific contributions, Barry played a key role in the birth of JAAS and as well as being a founding member of the Editorial Board went on to hold the post of JAAS Chair. We offer our sincerest thanks to Barry for all his involvement and support of the journal, which this year is celebrating it’s 30th anniversary.
