magazines are seeking contributed manuscripts for “Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry,” a supplement to be published in March 2013, as part of an ongoing series.
This supplement will examine developments in mass spectrometry and MS-hyphenated methods and their application to analytical problems in many fields, including but not limited to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical discovery, development, and manufacturing, biology and medicine, energy, the environment, forensics, defense, and food safety.
Manuscripts should be approximately 2,500¬¬–3,500 words long, plus figures and tables as needed, and follow a standard experimental article format, including an abstract of approximately 150-200 words. Figures and tables, along with their captions, should appear at the end of the manuscript, and figures also must be sent as separate files, preferably in JPG, TIF, PNG, or XLS format. References should be called out using numbers in parentheses and listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order.
Submissions from equipment manufacturers will be considered but must be devoid of promotional content, and authors must not make comparisons between products from different manufacturers.
Submission Deadlines
March 2013 issue:
Abstracts: November 19, 2012
Completed manuscripts: January 14, 2013
Where to submit: Send all proposals and completed articles to Editor Laura Bush, at lbush@advanstar.com (tel. +1.732.346.3020).

Investigating the Protective Effects of Frankincense Oil on Wound Healing with GC–MS
April 2nd 2025Frankincense essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties. A recent study investigated the protective effects of the oil in an excision wound model in rats, focusing on oxidative stress reduction, inflammatory cytokine modulation, and caspase-3 regulation; chemical composition of the oil was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
Evaluating Natural Preservatives for Meat Products with Gas and Liquid Chromatography
April 1st 2025A study in Food Science & Nutrition evaluated the antioxidant and preservative effects of Epilobium angustifolium extract on beef burgers, finding that the extract influenced physicochemical properties, color stability, and lipid oxidation, with higher concentrations showing a prooxidant effect.
Rethinking Chromatography Workflows with AI and Machine Learning
April 1st 2025Interest in applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to chromatography is greater than ever. In this article, we discuss data-related barriers to accomplishing this goal and how rethinking chromatography data systems can overcome them.
