Call For Papers: Cannabis Science and Technology 2024/2025 Issues

Manuscript scope and format

Cannabis Science and Technology® magazine is seeking contributed manuscripts for our peer-review process as well as regular features in our upcoming 2024/2025 issues. We welcome manuscripts that describe analytical methods for product quality control (including sample preparation techniques); the development of standard (consensus) methods; proper laboratory techniques and laboratory best practices; laboratory accreditation, proficiency testing, and inter-laboratory comparison testing; equipment and technology for testing and processing; regulatory issues; current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs); research on cannabinoids and terpenes; extraction methods, best practices, and troubleshooting; as well as cultivation techniques, tips and tricks, and troubleshooting.

Peer-Review Process

Articles that are submitted for peer-review will be sent to members of our editorial advisory board through a double-blinded process. Reviewers will provide comments related to the quality of the work and propose suggestions for areas of improvement. The authors will then receive those comments and be given additional time to consider the comments and make any necessary adjustments to their papers. We urge authors to submit a proposal to the editor before completing a manuscript. The following types of articles are suitable for peer-review:

• Technical Articles: Technical articles describe improvements in methods or techniques. Papers should be ~3500–4500 words long and should be of immediate relevance to the analytical, quality, extraction, or cultivation issues facing the cannabis industry. Authors should not make comparisons between commercially available products from different manufacturers.
• Tutorial articles: Tutorial articles should be presented as a how-to on a technique, application, or method related to cannabis analysis or processing (for example, QuEChERS extraction). Papers should be ~2000–2500 words long and should be of immediate relevance to the analytical and quality issues facing the cannabis industry.
• Review articles: Review articles survey recent developments and the state of the art of current techniques or emerging technologies. Manuscripts should be ~3500–4500 words long.
