Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Analytical Toxicology focuses on the development, validation, and application of analytical methods for the detection and quantification of drugs, chemicals, and their metabolites in biological and forensic samples. Recent articles highlight the analysis of novel psychoactive substances, including synthetic opioids, cathinones, and benzodiazepines, as well as cannabinoids and traditional drugs like alcohol, fentanyl, and PCP. The journal also covers methodologies for analyzing substances in various matrices such as blood, urine, exhaled breath, and hair, with applications in clinical toxicology, forensic investigations, and drug monitoring.
