''Analytical Communications''

In 1999, the Royal Society of Chemistry closed the journal ''Analytical Communications'' because it felt that the material submitted to that journal would be best included in a new communications section of ''Analyst''. Predecessor journals of ''Analytical Communications'' were ''Proceedings of the Society for Analytical Chemistry'', 1964–1974; ''Proceedings of the Analytical Division of the Chemical Society'', 1975–1979; ''Analytical Proceedings'', 1980–1993; ''Analytical Proceedings including Analytical Communications'', 1994–1995.
