The aim of the journal Mass Spectrometry Reviews is to publish well-written reviews in selected topics in the various sub-fields of mass spectrometry as a means to summarize the research that has been performed in that area, to focus attention of other researchers, to critically review the published material, and to stimulate further research in that area.The scope of the published reviews include, but are not limited to topics, such as theoretical treatments, instrumental design, ionization methods, analyzers, detectors, application to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various compounds or elements, basic ion chemistry and structure studies, ion energetic studies, and studies on biomolecules, polymers, etc.

《質譜評論》雜志上的目的是在選定的主題發布編寫良好的評論不同的子字段的質譜分析來總結的研究已經完成，專注其他研究人員的注意，批判性審查出版物，刺激進一步的研究在這個領域。發表的綜述范圍包括但不限于：理論處理、儀器設計、電離方法、分析儀器、檢測器、在各種化合物或元素定性和定量分析中的應用、基本離子化學和結構研究、離子能量研究、生物分子、聚合物的研究等。
