Encyclopedia
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is a peer-reviewed
scientific journal
on electroanalytical chemistry
, published by Elsevier
.
The journal, which the New York Times describes as "a specialty publication not widely circulated," became more broadly known in 1989 when Martin Fleischmann
and Stanley Pons
published a description of their controversial cold fusion
research in it, withdrawing their work from publication in Nature
after questions were raised during peer review there.
The journal began publishing in 1959. From 1967–1992 it was published under a longer name, the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry and Interfacial Electrochemistry.
