About the Journal:
Rather than focus on the application of a single technique, Drug Testing and Analysis employs a unique multidisciplinary approach to the field of controversial compound determination. Papers discussing chromatography, mass spectrometry, immunological approaches, 1D/2D gel electrophoresis, to name just a few select methods, are welcomed where their application is related to any of the six key topics listed below.

• Sports doping
• Illicit/recreational drugs use
  e.g. drug-testing methods by employers
• Pharmaceuticals
  e.g. pharmacokinetics, metabolism studies, characterization and detection of new therapeutics, natural products, biosimilars and generics
• Toxico-pathology
  e.g. determining posthumous drug presence
• Forensics/homeland security
  e.g. determining the presence of controlled substances at a crime scene or use by perpetrators, analysis of compounds with potential use as biological or chemical warfare agents
• Environment
  e.g. wastewater analysis, determination of pollutants/contaminants, etc.
