Abstract
As we begin a new year, I want to acknowledge the dedicated efforts of our Editors, Susana Campuzano Ruiz, I–Ming Hsing, and Yoon-Bo Shim, Commissioning Editor, Serge Cosnier, and Editorial Assistant, Akshatha Srikanta. I thank all of them for their fine work over the past year to promote scholarship in electroanalytical chemistry, to spearhead the journal's efforts to publish leading edge work in the field, to ensure a fair and quality review process, and to offer constructive feedback to authors. I also want to recognize Professor I–Ming Hsing for his 11 years of dedicated service as an Editor. He ended his tenure on December 31, 2021. His efforts have been instrumental in growing the journal's presence in China and Asia proper during the past decade. He has done a wonderful job promoting the journal and handling submissions from the region. We will miss his creative ideas, leadership, and editorial expertise. Electroanalysis is a peer-reviewed journal that disseminates impactful and scientifically important research pertaining to the field of electroanalytical chemistry. Articles may address conceptual advances in sensing or detection that are applicable to many types of analytes or more applied papers that report on the use of existing concepts in a new way or for new types of analytes. Articles on advances in analytical voltammetry and potentiometry, novel electrochemical sensors and detection schemes coupled with separation science, the preparation of metal and carbon electrode materials and their characterization, chemically-modified electrodes for molecular recognition and electrocatalysis, electrochemical sensors and biosensors, nanoscale electrochemistry, nano bioelectronics, neuroelectrochemistry, point-of-care diagnostics and wearable sensors, hyphenated electrochemical techniques and advanced electrochemical instrumentation are sought. Basic science and application papers in the biomedical, environmental, industrial, pharmaceutical, and food fields are welcome. A goal of the journal is to guide the electroanalytical chemistry community on the latest in measurement advances and on where measurement opportunities and challenges exist. Wishing all the best in 2022!! Greg M. Swain Editor-in-Chief
