Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography, Europe is an academic journal dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and scholarly communication in chromatography, separation science, analytical chemistry, and related laboratory sciences. The journal provides a European and international platform for high-quality research on liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, sample preparation, method development, analytical instrumentation, and applied chemical analysis.
The aim of the journal is to publish scientifically rigorous work that improves chromatographic theory, analytical methodology, laboratory practice, instrument performance, and the application of separation techniques across academic, industrial, environmental, pharmaceutical, forensic, clinical, food, and regulatory settings. The journal encourages studies that combine methodological reliability, experimental clarity, practical relevance, and scientific originality.
The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- Liquid chromatography, including HPLC, UHPLC, ion chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography, and chiral chromatography
- Gas chromatography, including capillary GC, headspace GC, multidimensional GC, and thermal desorption methods
- Hyphenated analytical techniques, including LC–MS, LC–MS/MS, GC–MS, and GC–MS/MS
- Sample preparation, extraction methods, cleanup procedures, automation, and miniaturized analytical workflows
- Method development, optimization, validation, transfer, robustness, and reproducibility studies
- Chromatographic columns, stationary phases, detectors, separation materials, and analytical instrumentation
- Pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, clinical, forensic, environmental, food, beverage, agricultural, and industrial analysis
- Quality control, quality assurance, regulatory methods, laboratory standards, and analytical compliance
- Chemometrics, data processing, digital workflows, and computational approaches in chromatographic analysis
- Green analytical chemistry, solvent reduction, sustainable laboratory methods, and environmentally responsible analytical practices
- Chromatographic theory, retention mechanisms, selectivity, resolution, sensitivity, precision, and method performance
The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, technical studies, methodological papers, case studies, short communications, and application-focused studies. Submissions should present clear scientific value, reliable data, appropriate methods, and relevance to chromatography, separation science, or analytical chemistry.
By publishing research across fundamental, applied, and regulatory dimensions of analytical science, Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography, Europe seeks to support researchers, analytical chemists, laboratory scientists, method-development specialists, instrument scientists, quality-control professionals, and scholars working across Europe and the wider international separation science community.
