General description:

ABCs of Education and Professional Development in Analytical Science is a forum for articles that describe educational innovations or activities designed to advance the professional development of analytical and bioanalytical chemists or that help people better manage their careers and build the skills to thrive in their careers. Articles may describe classroom and laboratory experiences or pedagogies that enhance learning outcomes and the professional development of undergraduate and/or graduate students. Articles describing innovative departmental or system-wide approaches to the teaching of analytical chemistry or preparation of students for careers in analytical or bioanalytical chemistry are appropriate. Opinion pieces on aspects of education and professional development are welcomed. Submission of manuscripts is similar to the process for research manuscripts. Decisions on publication involve a peer-review process.

We believe that ABCs of Education and Professional Development in Analytical Science has been an outstanding forum for the dissemination and discussion of educational topics and professional development among analytical and bioanalytical chemists. We look forward to our role in continuing this important component of ABC.
