About this collection
Atomic Spectrometry Updates are annual reviews written by a community of experts in their field. The aim is to provide six authoritative, critical and comprehensive reviews of the major fundamental and applied areas of analytical atomic spectrometry each year. To find out more please visit the Atomic Spectrometry Updates website.
Atomic Spectrometry Update (ASU) - Call for new writers.
The Atomic Spectrometry Update (ASU) editorial board is looking to increase the size of the production team (see our recent Editorial). We are looking for writers working in the field of atomic spectroscopy to contribute to one of the six reviews: advances in environmental analysis; advances in the analysis of clinical and biological materials, food and beverages; advances in XRF; advances in elemental speciation; advances in the analysis of metals, chemicals and materials; and advances in atomic spectroscopy and related techniques. You will work as part of a team to help produce the review on an annual cycle. Full support will be provided. Writers are allocated specific topics within the review and all abstracts for the review are provided. This is a great way to keep abreast of the current developments in the field, potentially improve your scientific writing skills and to publish annually. If you are interested, have relevant experience and a good command of written English, please contact the ASU General Editor, Prof Steve Hill for more information (steve.hill@plymouth.ac.uk).
