About the journal
|
The Journal of Mass Spectrometry publishes papers on a broad range of topics of interest to scientists working in both fundamental and applied areas involving the study of gaseous ions.
The aim of JMS is to serve the scientific community with information provided and arranged to help senior investigators to better stay abreast of new discoveries and studies in their own field, to make them aware of events and developments in associated fields, and to provide students and newcomers the basic tools with which to learn fundamental and applied aspects of mass spectrometry.
The scope of the journal is wide, encompassing all aspects of mass spectrometry. Suitable topics include, but are not restricted to, instrument design and development, ionization processes, mechanisms and energetics of gaseous ion reactions, spectroscopy of gaseous ions, theoretical aspects, ion structure, analysis of compounds of biological interest, methodology development, applications to elemental analysis and inorganic chemistry, computer-related applications and developments, and environmental chemistry and other fields that utilize innovative aspects of mass spectrometry as a critical component of the work.
General Information
JMS will publish original research articles, accelerated communications and letters to the editor. In addition, special features include "Perspective" articles, "Tutorial" articles, and "Current Literature" listings. Book reviews, conference reports and forthcoming events will also be published |

Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts submitted for possible publication in JMS should follow the general format described below and must be original works by the authors, with the exception of referenced materials or passages used with the written consent of the copyright holder. Also, the manuscript must not have been, nor will be, submitted for publication elsewhere at any time during its consideration by JMS. In multi-authored papers, while a designated author will be the person the Journal will correspond with, it is understood that this author will bear the burden of communicating with all authors and represent their joint decisions.
The copyright of published articles belongs to John Wiley and Sons. Authors are encouraged to sign and send in the Copyright Transfer Agreement, which may be printed from this Web site, together with the manuscript at the time of submission, to prevent possible publication delay. Manuscripts will not be published without this properly executed form. In the event the manuscript is declined for publication in JMS, this form is void and will be destroyed.
Manuscripts must be written in English and typed double-spaced throughout. Four copies (original plus 3 clean photocopies) must be submitted along with one set of original or clear, clean set of figures (see details below). IN ADDITION authors are invited to include a diskette containing the text and, where possible, graphics.
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts may be submitted to any one of the editors listed below. However, it is recommended that the author sends the paper to an editor based on either geographical location or area of expertise. Editors reserve the right to transfer papers to other editorial offices, in certain cases, to expedite processing.

Authors in Japan please note. Wiley-Japan can provide authors in Japan with a list of recommended services to check and improve the English of their papers before submission. Please contact Masayo Kobayashi in the Wiley-Japan office by e-mail (editorial@wiley.co.jp) or fax (03 3556 9763) for more information, stating which journal you are submitting to.
Manuscripts
Normally, a manuscript will be sent to two reviewers for their opinion on its suitability for publication in JMS. The editor processing the paper will choose reviewers, at times with advice from other editors. Authors are invited to send in the names, addresses, and phone and fax numbers of four (4) suggested reviewers, for consideration by the editor.
Reviews will typically take about 3 weeks. Authors will be informed immediately thereafter and be given copies of reviewers' comments. In cases where reviewers have significantly different opinions, an additional review will be obtained. Every effort will be made to expedite these reviews. Reviewers will be contacted first by phone or fax and, with their agreement, will be sent the manuscript.
In their basic review process, reviewers are asked to address the following questions:
- Are the new findings, discoveries, or developments clearly stated?
- Do these findings significantly advance the state of knowledge in the field of mass spectrometry, or other associated field targeted by the paper?
- Is the paper written clearly and are data and concepts presented logically?
- Do the references adequately cover the appropriate key publications in the field?
Revisions incorporating reviewers' comments should be returned to the editor within 2 weeks. In cases where additional experiments require longer periods of time, the editor should be informed of the anticipated date of submission. A revised manuscript received by the editor after 3 months from the date returned to the author will be considered a new submission.
In certain cases, manuscripts considered outside the scope of the journal or considered not to be of sufficient interest to readers will be returned to the author by the editor without review. This does not necessarily reflect the quality of the manuscript, but only its suitability for publication in JMS.
Research Articles
Original research articles will be published which describe experimental and/or theoretical advances, or applications involving mass spectrometry which add to the body of scientific knowledge in the field of mass spectrometry. (Articles which contain data mainly for archival purposes are not suitable for publication.) There is no page length limitation. Research articles are normally published 3 months after acceptance in an editorial office.
Research articles should follow the following format:
a. Title Page
- Complete title (well established abbreviations may be used; e.g. EI, MS/MS, FAB, LC, etc.)
- Authors names and institutional addresses
- Corresponding author, address, phone and fax numbers, and (when possible) e-mail address
- Running title (not more than 50 spaces)
- Number of text pages (including title page, references, and figure legends), figures, and tables, e.g., text___, figures___,tables___
b. Abstract and Key Words
- In about 300 words or less, describe the general approach, results, and significance of the paper.
- At the bottom of the page, list 5 key words that would be suitable for indexing purposes.
c. Introduction
d. Experimental
e. Results
f. Discussion (may be combined with Results)
g. Conclusion (when necessary)
h. Acknowledgement
i. References
References should be numbered in the sequence in which they occur in the text, cited by superior numbers and listed at the end of the paper. Authors should as far as possible cite available published work. If unpublished or personal work must be mentioned, then these citations should be included in sequence with the normal literature references. If the material cited is not readily accessible, then authors should also give, for example, the Chemical Abstracts reference.
The Journal encourages the inclusion of journal article titles in references. References should be listed in the following style:
- Perreault H, Costello CE. Stereochemical effects on the mass spectrometric behavior of native and derivatized trisaccharide isomers: comparisons with results from molecular modeling. Journal of Mass Spectrometry. 1999; 34: 184.
- Grostic MF. In Biochemical Applications of Mass Spectrometry, Waller GR (ed). John Wiley: New York 1972; 387.
The Journal encourages the use of full journal titles but where titles are abbreviated they must be abbreviated according to the system co-sponsored by the American Chemical Society and listed in The ACS Style Guide.
j. Tables
Essential tables should be clearly typed with double spacing, numbered in sequence and provided with descriptive legends making them intelligible without reference to the text. The same data must not be presented in both tabular and diagrammatic form.
k. Legends to Figures
Type legends in numerical order on separate sheets of paper. Provide sufficient detail to briefly describe the experiment which produced the data in the figure so that it can be understood without referring to the text. However, complete experimental details need not be included. Define any non-standard nomenclature or other notations in the figures that are not obvious.
Illustrations (Figures and Chemical Structures)
Illustrations must be supplied on separate sheets, not as an integral part of the manuscript. Illustrations may be line drawings or black-and-white photographs and must be suitable for direct reproduction. Please supply four sets of illustrations (original + 3 copies). Identify all original illustrations on the back, using soft or Chinagraph pencil preferably on a label.
Line drawings should be supplied on a separate sheet at the same size as the intended printed version (so no enlargement or reduction is required), maximum width 84 mm. Lettering on the artwork should be set in 8pt type. Computer-generated artwork must be submitted as laser printed output at a resolution of 600 dots per inch on high quality paper. Dot matrix printer output is unacceptable. Tints are to be avoided; hatching should be used instead. Drawn artwork should be carefully lettered and drawn in black ink. Provide copies as well as the originals.
Black and white photographs should be supplied as sharp, glossy black and white prints (not photocopies or previously printed material or transparencies). Laser output photographs are to be avoided. Do not supply photographs of printed material and do not provide colour originals.
Both drawings and photographs should be clearly identified on the back with the figure number and the author's name.
Artwork on disk is preferred on 3.5 inch PC or Macintosh format disk in a dedicated drawing package, such as Adobe Illustrator/Corel Draw/Macromedia Freehand, not presentation, spreadsheet or database packages. Each graphic should be in a separate file, should conform to the information above and be supplied as a source (original) file as well as an .EPS file, if different. Provide hard copy print out of each figure, clearly identified.
Accelerated Communications
Manuscripts must describe exciting new developments or other topics of immediate interest to readers within the scope of the journal. While it is appreciated that these may not be complete accounts of a study, sufficient data must be presented to establish claims and conclusions drawn. Although there are no strict page limitations, these manuscripts should be no more than about 4 printed (journal) pages. Accelerated communications will be published within 2 months of acceptance in an editorial office.
The format for accelerated communications is the same as that for research articles, above.
Letters to the Editor
Letters are intended to be brief reports of new findings, discussions of a topic of interest to readers, or comments on a published work. In the case where the letter is an alternative or opposing view on a published paper or topic, another person or author would be welcome to reply. Letters will be published within 2 months of acceptance in an editorial office.
The format arrangement is: title, text, list of authors with affiliations, and corresponding author and address. References should be placed in the text and, normally, figures should not be included.
Special Feature Articles
Special Feature articles, such as "Perspectives", or "Tutorial" articles, are normally invited contributions. However, suggestions are welcome and these should be sent to the Specific Features coordinator, or the Editor-in-Chief.
Nomenclature, Abbreviations, Units
Both IUPAC and Chemical Abstracts chemical nomenclature are acceptable. Standard mass spectrometry terms as set out in the IUPAC recommendations (Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1991, 63, 1541-1566) should be used. Abbreviations and acronyms, except those commonly accepted ones (e.g. EI, CI, GC/MS) must be defined. The exclusive use of SI units is recommended, with the exception of the use of daltons for mass units and eV for energy.
Proofs
Page proofs for the correction of printers' errors only, will be despatched to the author indicated on the first page of the manuscript. Any further alteration at this proof stage may have to be charged to the author and may seriously delay publication.
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints of each paper and one copy of the journal issue in which it appears will be supplied free of charge. Additional copies may be ordered if required on a form supplied with the proofs.
Submitting Manuscripts on Disk
The final (revised) manuscript may be submitted on disk if an author so chooses. The disks should be clearly labelled with the file name (e.g.): JMSMHL (The first three letters represent the Wiley journal code and the next 3 letters the author's initials [if an author only has 2 initials the middle letter should be X]), the date, the author's name, the hardware and software package used.
The preferred medium is a 5.25 or 3.5 inch disk in Macintosh or MS-DOS. Most standard software packages currently available can be used, with preference for WordPerfect, Word or TeX (and/or one of its derivatives).
Line artwork/graphics can also be accepted on disk. Preferred software are Adobe Illustrator and Aldus Freehand. If an author wishes to supply these graphics on disk, then source files are needed in addition to the Encapsulated PostScript file that is called into the text file. This is to enable the publisher to amend the artwork, as required, for the journal format.
Again, each file should be carefully named, using the same code as for the text, but adding a reference for the figures - e.g.
JMSMHL1 (the 1 representing fig. 1).
The disks must be accompanied by 4 hard copies as required above. If the disk and the paper copy differ, the paper copy will be treated as the definitive version.
