JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY

The Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ISSN 1044-0305) is a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Springer on behalf of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, serving as a premier venue for disseminating high-quality research in the field of mass spectrometry. While it is not an open-access publication by default, authors may opt for open access on a per-article basis. The journal’s scope encompasses fundamental theories, instrument development, methodological innovations, and diverse applications in biology, chemistry, and environmental science. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it is generally categorized in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ranking for the broad category of chemistry, though specific rankings may vary by year. Although its impact factor is moderate compared to broader multidisciplinary journals due to its specialized focus, the publication is renowned for its rigorous peer-review process and high scientific standards, making it a reliable and respected outlet for scholars and researchers dedicated to advancing mass spectrometric techniques and their applications.
