Talanta, JFIA, and ICFIA/JAFIA--A history

Abstract

The Winter Conference on Flow Injection Analysis (WCFIA) began in 1989, and became the International Conference on Flow Injection Analysis, when merging with the Japanese Association for Flow Injection Analysis (JAFIA) in 1995. Talanta has published special issues on the conference since 1995. Beginning in 2013, accepted manuscripts are published in regular issues of Talanta, and a virtual special issue of all manuscripts is compiled for access online. Reports of the conferences have been published in the Journal of Flow Injection Analysis (JFIA) beginning in 1992, in English and in Japanese. Some reports in English have been published in TrAC, from 1993 to 2008. This report provides, for the record, all Special Issues and all reports, listing the venues, conference organizers, and guest editors for special issues, along with the titles of the reports for the cited issues.
