Analyst is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of analytical chemistry, bioanalysis, and detection science. It is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry and the editor-in-chief is Melanie Bailey (University of Surrey). [1] The journal was established in 1877 by the Society for Analytical Chemistry.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in MEDLINE and Analytical Abstracts. According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 4.2. [2]
In 1999, the Royal Society of Chemistry closed the journal Analytical Communications because it felt that the material submitted to that journal would be best included in a new communications section of Analyst. Predecessor journals of Analytical Communications were Proceedings of the Society for Analytical Chemistry, 1964–1974; Proceedings of the Analytical Division of the Chemical Society, 1975–1979; Analytical Proceedings, 1980–1993; Analytical Proceedings including Analytical Communications, 1994–1995.
