Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry (JAAS) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing original (primary) research and review articles covering all areas of modern spectrometry including fundamental theory, practice and analytical applications. JAAS is published monthly by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the managing editor is Dr Claire Darby and the chairman of the editorial board is Gary Hieftje, Indiana University. ISSN, or International Standard Serial Number, is the unique eight-digit number applied to a periodical publication including electronic serials. ... Peer review (known as refereeing in some academic fields) is a scholarly process used in the publication of manuscripts and in the awarding of funding for research. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... Original research is research that is not exclusively based on a summary, review or synthesis of earlier publications on the subject of research. ... A Literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge on a particular topic. ... Spectroscopy is the study of spectra, ie. ... Royal Society of Chemistry The Royal Society of Chemistry is a learned society (professional association) in the United Kingdom with the goal of advancing the chemical sciences. ... A managing editor is a senior member of a publications management team. ... A Chairman is the presiding officer of a meeting, organization, committee, or other deliberative body. ...

JAAS replaced Annual Reports on Analytical Atomic Spectroscopy (1971-1984) in 1986; and has become a leading journal in the field of analytical chemistry and spectroscopy, with an impact factor of 3.64.^[1] The Impact factor, very often abbreviated IF, is a measure of the citations to science and social science journals. ...
