The Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, published by the American Chemical Society on behalf of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of mass spectrometry, including fields of scientific inquiry in which mass spectrometry can play a role, including both applications and fundamentals. These fields include chemical, biological, health, environmental, physical, geological, and forensic sciences, as well as omics sciences, such as proteomics and metabolomics.

The journal publishes papers on both fundamentals and applications of mass spectrometry, in addition to new instrumentation and methods development. Papers that report on applications should have a principal focus on the use of a new mass spectrometry tool or approach to solve a qualitative or quantitative problem.

Fundamental and application-based subjects welcomed by the journal include, but are not limited to:

Fundamentals

Instrumentation principles, design, and demonstration
Structures and chemical properties of gas-phase ions
Thermodynamic properties
Ion spectroscopy
Chemical kinetics
Mechanisms of ionization
Theories of ion fragmentation
Cluster Ions
Potential energy surfaces
Applications

Development or validation of new methodology
Omics related research (e.g., proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, multi-omics systems)
Structural elucidation
Biopolymer sequencing
Automation/implementation of high throughput methods
Environmental and forensic measurements
Computer applications, new algorithms and software
