Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan · Japan · Est. 1966
Aims & Scope
Mass Spectrometry publishes articles across a broad range of topics in fundamental and applied mass spectrometry. Fundamental topics include instrumental principles, design, development and demonstration, mechanisms of ionization, energetics and chemical structures of gas-phase ions, theories of ion fragmentation, cluster ions, and potential energy surfaces. Applied topics include analysis of compounds or substances of biological, chemical, geological and physical interest. Well-established technologies used in new compounds or simple optimization studies are not usually considered.

Ethics & Quality
Think.Check.Submit Compliance
A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
Publication & Citation Trend
Source: OpenAlex · Each year’s green bar = citations earned by that year’s papers, counted to date — so recent years look lower simply because their papers haven’t had time to be cited yet.
