Abstract
The title of the recently renamed journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (ABC) represents a trend that may be observed in several important analytical chemistry journals: more and more papers on research in bioanalytical chemistry are being published in traditional journals for analytical chemistry. For an outsider, this might be evidence for more and more analytical chemists being attracted to bioanalytical topics. A more thorough investigation does not fully support this observation. Many authors of bioanalytical papers in the traditional analytical chemistry journals appear to come from outside the analytical chemists community. This has led the Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) within the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS) to set up a study group to investigate this novel phenomenon. The first thing to clarify should be an approximate definition of bioanalytical chemistry. This is far from easy, because the term has been used for a variety of fields. Analytical chemists tend to think that bioanalytical chemistry is a science devoted partly to the chemical analysis of biological systems or analytes and partly to
