植物化學分析致力于發表有關分析方法在植物科學中的發展、改進、驗證和/或推廣應用的原創文章。范圍廣泛，包括與植物生物化學、植物細胞和分子生物學、植物生物技術、食品科學、農業和園藝中化合物的檢測(包括生物篩選)、提取、分離、純化、鑒定和定量有關的方法和技術。該雜志發表的論文描述了在分析整個植物(包括藻類)、植物細胞、組織和器官、植物提取物和植物產品(包括那些已部分或完全精制用于食品、農藥、制藥和相關行業的產品)方面的重大創新。所有形式的物理、化學、生化、光譜、輻射、電測、色譜、代謝組學和植物產品的化學計量研究(單分子物種以及聚合分子，如核酸、蛋白質、脂類和碳水化合物)都包括在該雜志的研究范圍之內。此外，亦歡迎發表有關植物科學中數據處理/數據挖掘等領域的新方法的論文。植物化學分析是植物科學分析和儀器方法學信息的主要來源。將發表描述植物分析特定領域最新進展的簡短評論文章，連同及時發表的原創文章和加速交流的文章(所有這些文章都將受到廣大讀者的關注)。評審僅接受邀請，但總編歡迎潛在作者對新的評審主題提出建議。

Phytochemical Analysis is devoted to the publication of original articles concerning the development, improvement, validation and/or extension of application of analytical methodology in the plant sciences. The spectrum of coverage is broad, encompassing methods and techniques relevant to the detection (including bio-screening), extraction, separation, purification, identification and quantification of compounds in plant biochemistry, plant cellular and molecular biology, plant biotechnology, the food sciences, agriculture and horticulture. The Journal publishes papers describing significant novelty in the analysis of whole plants (including algae), plant cells, tissues and organs, plant-derived extracts and plant products (including those which have been partially or completely refined for use in the food, agrochemical, pharmaceutical and related industries). All forms of physical, chemical, biochemical, spectroscopic, radiometric, electrometric, chromatographic, metabolomic and chemometric investigations of plant products (monomeric species as well as polymeric molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) are included within the remit of the Journal. Papers dealing with novel methods relating to areas such as data handling/ data mining in plant sciences will also be welcomed.Phytochemical Analysis is intended to serve as a major resource for information on analytical and instrumental methodology in the plant sciences. Together with original articles and accelerated communications, all of which will be both timely and of interest to a wide readership, short review articles describing recent advances in specific areas of plant analysis will be published. Reviews are by invitation only, but the Editor-in-Chief welcomes suggestions for new review topics from potential authors.
