《光譜學(xué)快報(bào)》為所有學(xué)科的所有類型的光譜學(xué)提供了重要的覆蓋，包括在基礎(chǔ)光譜學(xué)、應(yīng)用、診斷和儀器方面的新工作。聽眾的目的是成為所有科學(xué)（和某些工程）學(xué)科的所有實(shí)踐分光鏡學(xué)家，包括：物理、化學(xué)、生物學(xué)、儀器科學(xué)和藥學(xué)。該雜志發(fā)表了關(guān)于原始實(shí)驗(yàn)和理論工作的通訊，內(nèi)容涉及以下方法：磁共振光譜（核和電子自旋）質(zhì)譜（原子和分子）光學(xué)分光光度法（紫外、可見光和紅外線中的原子和分子）分子光譜學(xué)（紫外、可見光和紅外線中的熒光和磷光）光學(xué)原子光譜（火焰、熔爐和等離子體）X射線光譜學(xué)微波光譜學(xué)激光光譜學(xué)手稿可以是全文，也可以是初稿（信件）。信件可能包括對(duì)其他分光鏡學(xué)家有用的儀器開發(fā)。特別感興趣的手稿是光譜學(xué)教育信。這些信件可能包含本科生所做的新研究，任何可能用于教學(xué)的新實(shí)驗(yàn)，或任何級(jí)別上用于光譜學(xué)教學(xué)的任何新教學(xué)方法。這些手稿的審查與其他提交給期刊的手稿一樣嚴(yán)格，本科生投稿人的姓名在手稿中突出顯示為腳注。

Spectroscopy Letters provides vital coverage of all types of spectroscopy across all the disciplines where they are used—including novel work in fundamental spectroscopy, applications, diagnostics and instrumentation. The audience is intended to be all practicing spectroscopists across all scientific (and some engineering) disciplines, including: physics, chemistry, biology, instrumentation science, and pharmaceutical science.The journal publishes communications about original experimental and theoretical work on such methods as: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nuclear and electron spin) Mass Spectroscopy (atomic and molecular) Optical spectrophotometry (atomic and molecular in the UV, Visible and infrared) Molecular spectroscopy (fluorescence and phosphorescence in the UV, Visible and infrared) Optical Atomic spectroscopy (flames, furnaces and plasmas) X-ray spectroscopy Microwave spectroscopy Laser spectroscopy Manuscripts may be submitted as full papers, or as short papers of a preliminary nature (letters). Letters may include instrumental developments that may be useful for other spectroscopists. Manuscripts of particular interest are Spectroscopy Education Letters. These letters may contain novel research done by undergraduate students, any new experiments that may be used for teaching, or any new pedagogical approaches used for the teaching of spectroscopy at any level. Such manuscripts are reviewed with same rigor as others submitted to the journal and the names of undergraduate contributors are highlighted as footnotes in the manuscript.
