In October, the Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL highlights manuscripts that address emerging risks and next generation technologies. We welcome submissions related to PFAS, novel contaminants, AI assisted analysis, innovative detection tools, and advanced analytical or microbiological methods.

If your research anticipates future challenges or introduces new approaches to detection, quantitation, or validation, we encourage you to submit.

Your work can help laboratories prepare for the evolving landscape of public health and safety. Contribute to a journal that supports global scientific rigor and regulatory confidence. Publishing with AOAC offers authors a global, multidisciplinary readership; rigorous peer review by subject matter experts; and strong alignment with regulatory and standards setting communities. Authors also benefit from opportunities for community engagement, including potential author spotlights and features that highlight impactful scientific contributions.

Why Publish: Share trusted, high‑quality analytical science with a global readership and a community that shapes international standards.

Manuscripts are accepted on a rolling basis. Detailed author guidelines and submission instructions are available through the AOAC INTERNATIONAL submission portal. Researchers, method developers, and laboratory scientists at all career stages are encouraged to submit their work.
