Abstract
Primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) play critical roles in the higher education framework of the United States. In this Perspective, considerations for establishing a mass spectrometry (MS)-based research and teaching program at a PUI are discussed. Topics covered include balancing teaching, research, and service responsibilities, acquiring MS instrumentation, and establishing a sustainable research program for undergraduate students.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry presents research papers covering all aspects of mass spectrometry, incorporating coverage of fields of scientific inquiry in which mass spectrometry can play a role.
Comprehensive in scope, the journal publishes papers on both fundamentals and applications of mass spectrometry. Fundamental subjects include instrumentation principles, design, and demonstration, structures and chemical properties of gas-phase ions, studies of thermodynamic properties, ion spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, mechanisms of ionization, theories of ion fragmentation, cluster ions, and potential energy surfaces. In addition to full papers, the journal offers Communications, Application Notes, and Accounts and Perspectives
