Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry publishes articles across a broad range of topics in fundamental and applied mass spectrometry. Fundamental topics include instrumental principles, design, development and demonstration, mechanisms of ionization, energetics and chemical structures of gas-phase ions, theories of ion fragmentation, cluster ions, and potential energy surfaces. Applied topics include analysis of compounds or substances of biological, chemical, geological and physical interest. Well-established technologies used in new compounds or simple optimization studies are not usually considered.
Mass Spectrometry is owned and published by the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan (MSSJ). The journal is Open Access and published continuously online as articles are ready. The aim of the journal is to facilitate the communication of new discoveries and innovative studies to the scientific community, as well as to foster young scientists in the field.
