Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry 由美国化学会代表美国质谱学会出版,是一份同行评审的月刊,涵盖了质谱的所有方面,包括质谱可以发挥作用的科学探究领域,包括应用和基础研究。这些领域包括化学、生物、健康、环境和法医学、组学科学,如蛋白质组学和代谢组学,以及物理学和地质学。该期刊发表关于质谱学基础研究和应用的论文,以及新仪器和方法开发。
The Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, published by the American Chemical Society on behalf of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of mass spectrometry, including fields of scientific inquiry in which mass spectrometry can play a role, including both applications and fundamentals. These fields include the chemical, biological, health, environmental and forensic sciences, omics sciences such as proteomics and metabolomics, as well as physics and geology.
The journal publishes papers on both fundamentals and applications of mass spectrometry, in addition to new instrumentation and methods development.
Papers that report on an application should have as a principal focus the use of a new mass spectrometry tool or approach to solve a qualitative or quantitative problem. Application subjects include, but are not limited to, development or validation of new methodology, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics and other 'omics related research, structural elucidation, biopolymer sequencing, automation/implementation of high throughput methods, and environmental and forensic measurements. Papers describing computer applications, new algorithms and software will also be considered.
Fundamental subjects include instrumentation principles, design, and demonstration, structures and chemical properties of gas-phase ions, studies of thermodynamic properties, ion spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, mechanisms of ionization, theories of ion fragmentation, cluster ions, and potential energy surfaces.
