"Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry" "(JAAS)" is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing original (primary) research and review articles covering all areas of modern spectrometry including fundamental theory, practice and analytical applications. "JAAS" is published monthly by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the editor is Dr Niamh O'Connor and the chairman of the editorial board is Professor Detlef Guenther, ETH Zuerich.

"JAAS" replaced "Annual Reports on Analytical Atomic Spectroscopy" (1971-1984) in 1986; and has become a leading journal in the field of analytical chemistry and spectroscopy, with an impact factor of 3.27. [Journal Citation Reviews, 2007 ]

JAAS hosts another RSC publication, Chemical Technology.
