Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry is a journal whose aim is the rapid publication of original research results and ideas on all aspects of mass spectrometry. There is no formal limit on paper length, but papers should be of a length that is commensurate with the importance and complexity of the results being reported. Contributions may deal with methods, techniques and applications, or with the interpretation of results.

In general, submissions that use conventional MS, GC-MS or LC-MS methods to catalogue or screen for components of extracts including Traditional Chinese Medicines are discouraged, except where the authors can clearly demonstrate that their contribution represents a significant extension of the capabilities or applications of mass spectrometry or new understanding of ion chemistry and related disciplines.
