About this Research Topic
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Chemistry “Women in Analytical Chemistry” article collection. Following the success of our broader Women in Science: Chemistry, through which have been able to highlight the work of many fantastic chemists in the previous year, Frontiers in Chemistry is proud to now offer this platform to promote the work of female scientists across any and all branches of Analytical Chemistry.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science related fields, and STEM research in particular. Analytical Chemistry is no exception to this. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
This Research Topic has the aim of bringing into the spotlight contributions of female researchers in all areas of Analytical Chemistry. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Analytical Chemistry and presents advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling analytical problems.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the corresponding author should be a female researcher.
