Aims & Scope

Reliable data obtained from selective, sensitive and reproducible analysis of xenobiotics and biotics in biological samples is a fundamental and crucial part of every successful drug development program. The same principles can also apply to many other areas of research such as forensic science, toxicology and sports doping testing.

The bioanalytical field incorporates sophisticated techniques linking sample preparation and advanced separations with MS and NMR detection systems, automation and robotics. Standards set by regulatory bodies regarding method development and validation increasingly define the boundaries between speed and quality.

Bioanalysis is a progressive discipline for which the future holds many exciting opportunities to further reduce sample volumes, analysis cost and environmental impact, as well as to improve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, efficiency, assay throughput, data quality, data handling and processing.

The journal Bioanalysis focuses on the techniques and methods used for the detection or quantitative study of analytes in human or animal biological samples. Bioanalysis encourages the submission of articles describing forward-looking applications, including biosensors, microfluidics, miniaturized analytical devices, and new hyphenated and multi-dimensional techniques.

Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst.

Information for Authors

Principal themes include:

Analyte extraction and sample preparation, including microsampling

Chromatography and separation sciences

MS, NMR and other key detection methods, including ligand binding assays

Drug and metabolite assays

Biomarker assays, diagnostic assays and test kits

Method development and validation approaches

Innovative bioanalytical methods and new instrumentation and equipment

Laboratory automation and efficiency

Regulatory and compliance issues

Data processing and management

Audience

The content is uniquely targeted to those working on the bioanalysis of drugs, metabolites and endogenous substances in biological matrices. This is, primarily, bioanalysts working in pharmaceutical research and development in industry and academia, clinical laboratories, clinical toxicologists, forensic toxicologists and sports doping analysts. The articles will also have wide appeal to analytical chemists, pharmacologists, clinical chemists, and those involved with metabolomics studies.

The journal welcomes unsolicited article proposals.

Preparing your article

Article types

Future Science Group publishes a range of article types, descriptions of which are outlined below. Authors are encouraged to consult the ‘at-a-glance formatting checklist’ for details on word counts and other formatting requirements.

The information below gives an overview of the requirements for each article type published by Future Science Group. However, authors should consult the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) “Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals” (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/), in particular the section on “Preparing for Submission” prior to submitting to a Future Science Group journal, for more detailed information.

Review-based articles

Review

Reviews aim to highlight recent significant advances in research, ongoing challenges and unmet needs; authors should be concise and critical in their appraisal of the subject matter and strive for clarity. The focus should be on key, defining developments rather than providing a comprehensive literature survey. Reviews should provide balanced coverage of the field and not focus predominantly on the author's own research. Authors are encouraged to include their own perspective on current trends and future directions, particularly in the ‘Future perspective’ section.

Review articles undergo external peer review.

Future Science Group journals consider both Narrative and Systematic Reviews. For more information on Systematic Reviews, see below.

Word limit: 4000–8000 words (excluding abstract, executive summary, references and figure/table legends)

Reference limit: ~80

Required sections (for a more detailed description of these sections see Article sections):

 Title (maximum 120 characters)

 Running head (maximum 50 characters)

 Author(s) names & affiliations

 Abstract (maximum 120 words)

 Lay abstract (optional)

 Tweetable abstract (optional; ~200 characters)

 Keywords (5–10)

 Body of article

 Future perspective

 Executive summary

 References

 Reference annotations

 Acknowledgements: author acknowledgements, plus, where relevant, details of individuals who contributed to the article, but who did not fulfill the criteria to be listed as authors  Disclosures: to include funding information, financial and/or conflict-of-interest disclosures, disclosure of any writing assistance (and the funding source for this), and any other relevant information

 Figures/Tables: should be submitted as separate files (see guidelines below)
