FOREWORD
We are pleased to present the ‘Year in Bioanalysis’ – a special supplement of the journal Bioanalysis, which includes a selection of 10 of the most accessed articles from 2015 across a range of topics. Articles were selected based on reader download data, which we felt was the most impartial way to determine which papers had stimulated the greatest interest. While we acknowledge that this single measurement may not be truly indicative of the ‘top’ articles, we think it is still insightful to take a look the bioanalytical community’s interest in our published papers from the past year. The supplement also includes some new views and perspectives from industry experts.

AIMS & SCOPE
Bioanalysis is a progressive discipline for which the future holds many exciting opportunities to further reduce sample volumes, analysis cost and environmental impact, as well as to improve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, efficiency, assay throughput, data quality, data handling and processing.
The journal Bioanalysis focuses on the techniques and methods used for the detection or quantitative study of analytes in human or animal biological samples. Bioanalysis encourages the submission of articles describing forward-looking applications, including biosensors, microfluidics, miniaturized analytical devices, and new hyphenated and multi-dimensional techniques.
The content is uniquely targeted to those working on the bioanalysis of drugs, metabolites and endogenous substances in biological matrices. This is, primarily, bioanalysts working in pharmaceutical research and development in industry and academia, clinical laboratories, clinical toxicologists, forensic toxicologists and sports doping analysts. The articles will also have wide appeal to analytical chemists, pharmacologists, clinical chemists, and those involved with metabolomics studies.
Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst.
Bioanalysis provides the busy bioanalyst with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments.
Principal themes include: ƒ Analyte extraction and sample preparation, including microsampling ƒ Chromatography and separation sciences ƒ MS, NMR and other key detection methods, including ligand binding assays ƒ Drug and metabolite assays ƒ Biomarker assays, diagnostic assays and test kits ƒ Method development and validation approaches ƒ Innovative bioanalytical methods and new instrumentation and equipment ƒ Laboratory automation and efficiency ƒ Regulatory and compliance issues ƒ Data processing and management
