Welcome to the '''{{SITENAME}}''' wiki of mass spectrometry terminology.


This goal of this site is to provide information about and discussion of the [http://www.iupac.org/projects/2003/2003-056-2-500.html IUPAC sponsored project] to update the Standard Terms and Definitions for Mass Spectrometry. The site is built around a ' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki],' an on-line user editable glossary of mass spectrometry terms and definitions (for an example of a general WIki, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia]).  
This site was created by [https://kermitmurray.com/ Kermit Murray] in 2004 to support the IUPAC project '''[https://iupac.org/projects/project-details/?project_nr=2003-056-2-500 Standard definitions of terms relating to mass spectrometry]''' and was open for comment between 2004 and 2006. It now contains links to numerous mass spectrometry terminology definitions from the IUPAC [[Gold Book]], [[Orange Book]], [[:Category:Final|2013 Recommendations]], and [[:Category:Mass spectrometry terms|other sources]]. As of {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}, the site contains [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] entries.


User input in this project is invited and encouraged and for that reason, most of this site is open and editable.

Welcome to the Mass Spec Terms wiki of mass spectrometry terminology.

This site was created by Kermit Murray in 2004 to support the IUPAC project Standard definitions of terms relating to mass spectrometry and was open for comment between 2004 and 2006. It now contains links to numerous mass spectrometry terminology definitions from the IUPAC Gold Book, Orange Book, 2013 Recommendations, and other sources. As of Wednesday September 10, 2025, the site contains 2,240 entries.
