This month, the Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL emphasizes the importance of method validation. We invite submissions of single laboratory validations, interlaboratory studies, collaborative studies, and performance evaluations that demonstrate method reliability and reproducibility.

Validation is essential to ensuring that analytical and microbiological methods perform as intended across laboratories, matrices, and conditions. If your team has generated robust performance data, we encourage you to submit your findings.

Your work helps laboratories and regulators trust the results they rely on. 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.
