The Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL invites researchers to begin 2026 by submitting high‑quality manuscripts that advance analytical chemistry and microbiology. As laboratories reflect on the work completed over the past year, this is an ideal moment to bring new methods, validation studies, and data‑driven insights into the peer‑reviewed literature.
We welcome research that strengthens food safety, environmental monitoring, agricultural testing, dietary supplements, cannabis analysis, and public health. Submissions may include method development, method validation, rapid detection technologies, contaminants and residues analysis, microbiome research, molecular diagnostics, and data integrity approaches.
Join us in advancing the science that protects public health. Start the year by contributing 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.
