Workshop Special Issue in ABC

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute to a special issue in the context of the 10th European Workshop on Laser Ablation (EWLA). The special issue will appear in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (www.springer.com/abc).

Manuscripts need to be critical reviews or full research papers and present original, unpublished work focussing on analytical and bioanalytical themes presented at the conference.

The Editors would like to point out that all contributions, explicitly including those prepared for the special issue at the invitation of the Guest Editors, will undergo the usual peer reviewing process by independent referees and are assessed by the same high standards of peer review with regard to novelty and analytical significance.

Criteria for acceptance of a paper include the receipt of two positive referee reports by renowned experts of the respective field of analytical or bioanalytical chemistry.

Please contact the Chairpersons of the EWLA 2010 for details and let us know whether you are interested in submitting new results of your work as a manuscript to the special issue by simply sending your contact information together with a preliminary manuscript title to one of the Guest Editors by July 15, 2010.

Manuscript submission deadline will be August 15, 2010. The journal's guidelines for authors can be found here.

We are looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience,

Detlef Günther, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
