Flow analysis during the 60 years of Talanta

A parallel within the development of flow analysis and the consolidation of Talanta as one of the main journals in analytical chemistry is drawn. Influence of scientific divulgation, meeting organizations, thematic issues devoted to scientific events and Talanta awards in the recent development of flow analysis is emphasized. For didactic purposes, the discussion is focused on three 20-year periods. A scientometric overview demonstrated the consolidation of Talanta as the main journal for divulgation of recent innovations in flow analysis.
