Cover Letters
A cover letter addressed to the Editor-in-Chief should accompany all manuscripts and should explain to the Journal editor how the manuscript fits the scope of the Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL. A statement should be included of the analytical problem you addressed and the novelty and originality of the approach taken, contribution of your work to create new knowledge in the analytical sciences, and relevance of your work to advance basic or applied research and specific impact to the analytical sciences related to foods, drugs, agriculture, or the environment. A statement should be included in the cover letter by the corresponding author that all persons named as co-authors have seen and approved the manuscript prior to submission.
The Review Process
The usual review process is as follows:
Author submits manuscript online;
The Editorial Office performs initial assessment and transmits each submitted paper to appropriate Section Editor, who solicits peer reviews;
The Section Editor sends an e-mail to the author for revision in response to reviewers’ comments; editor accepts or rejects revision; and informs author and AOAC editorial office;
Articles are copy edited and typeset following the Journal style guide;
Page proofs are sent to author for final approval.
The Journal uses a single-blinded review process. After the editor receives a minimum of two reviewer responses, he/she will make a decision. The editor will send an e-mail to the corresponding author with the decision (accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject). The Editor's decision is final. The author will need to respond to the reviewers’ comments. Please respond to all reviewer comments to minimize the number of revisions required. Responses should be marked in tracked changes in the document. A separate Word document may accompany the revised article explaining the changes. The Editor accepts or rejects the revision and transmits the decision to the author and the AOAC editorial office. Refer to “Production and Publication Process”.
Review Policy
The Editorial Office or Section Editor will decline formal review of a manuscript when it is deemed to be:
Outside the scope of the Journal;
Making no contribution to the advancement of scientific knowledge when in scope;
Lacking technical or scientific merit;
Reporting only routine work (lacks novelty);
Not following the Guidelines to Authors; or
Poorly written.
Manuscript Format
Please provide the manuscript text as a Microsoft Word or as a LaTeX file. Do NOT embed tables and figures within the text. Tables can be uploaded as a separate document or inserted after the references in the main document with each table on a separate page. Figures should be uploaded as separate files clearly named (i.e., Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.)
Title Page
On the first page please include the title of the paper, author names with superscript numbers used to match authors to their affiliations, a list of author affiliations.
Title
Titles should be concise and informative as titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid non-standard acronyms/abbreviations, symbols, and formulae.
