Mass Spectrometry Reviews publishes reviews in selected topics in the various sub-fields of mass spectrometry as a means to summarize the research that has been performed in that area, to focus attention of other researchers, to critically review the published material, and to stimulate further research in that area.
The journal was founded by Professor George R. Waller, Professor Emeritus, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Oklahoma State University, USA, who is known for his outstanding contributions to various aspects of biosynthesis and biodegradation of certain alkaloids, flavor of roasted peanuts, allelopathy, saponins, and the biochemical applications of mass spectrometry.
In celebration of thirty years of Mass Spectrometry Reviews a collection of highly cited and accessed papers is presented free to read throughout 2011, giving a broad overview on the highlights of mass spectrometry.
