Submit your article for consideration to Spectroscopy!
Spectroscopy is seeking experts in analytical chemistry to submit technical articles for publication.
We’re looking for contributors who are interested in submitting tutorials, review articles, tips and tricks, blogs, peer-reviewed research, and more. Manuscripts and cover letter can be submitted directly to Associate Editorial Director Caroline Hroncich at chroncich@mjhlifesciences.com.
With your cover letter, please include a working title for your article, a summary of what you intend to cover, and any additional information that would be helpful to our editors. If approved for publication, your article will be edited by our staff. All articles are published on the Spectroscopy website with the opportunity to run in a future issue of the print magazine.
Before submitting, please review our editorial guidelines and ethics policy.

The 2025 Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award
February 15th 2025Benjamin T. Manard has won the 2025 Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award for his pioneering research in nuclear material characterization and isotope ratio analysis, with expertise in advanced atomic spectrometry techniques such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and laser ablation.
From Classical Regression to AI and Beyond: The Chronicles of Calibration in Spectroscopy: Part I
February 14th 2025This “Chemometrics in Spectroscopy” column traces the historical and technical development of these methods, emphasizing their application in calibrating spectrophotometers for predicting measured sample chemical or physical properties—particularly in near-infrared (NIR), infrared (IR), Raman, and atomic spectroscopy—and explores how AI and deep learning are reshaping the spectroscopic landscape.
A Proposal for the Origin of the Near-Ubiquitous Fluorescence in Raman Spectra
February 14th 2025In this column, I describe what I believe may be the origin of this fluorescence emission and support my conjecture with some measurements of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Understanding the origin of these interfering backgrounds may enable you to design experiments with less interference, avoid the laser illuminations that make things worse, or both.
Previewing the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Conference
February 14th 2025This year, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Conference is taking place from February 17–22, 2025. We highlight the importance of spectroscopy in this field and why we’re covering the conference this year.
