Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

The 54th North American Chemical Residue Workshop (NACRW) was held on July 23-
8
26, 2017 in a new location at the Naples Grande Beach Resort in Naples, Florida. First held in
9
1963 as the Florida Pesticide Residue Workshop (FPRW), the meeting has grown over the years,
10
and the new location provides ample space for platform and poster presentations, vendors’
11
exhibits and seminars. The workshop is sponsored by Flag Works, Inc., a non-profit
12
organization, and supported by many attendees and vendors who generously provide a product
13
and service exhibition, seminar and poster presentations, and educational user meetings.
14
The meeting was well attended by 346 participants, representing government, private
15
laboratories, industry, vendors, academia and non-profit organizations from 14 different
16
countries. The four day workshop included a short course, a keynote lecture, oral and poster
17
presentations in seven scientific symposia, and 41 vendor exhibit booths.
18
The workshop started with a short course “Efficient Start-to-Finish Analysis of Chemical
19
Residues" taught by Dr. Steven Lehotay from the United States Department of Agriculture
20
(USDA). The 57 course participants learned about efficient high-quality and high-throughput
21
analysis of different types of chemical contaminants.
22
NACRW Excellence Award, sponsored by Flag Works, Inc., in Separation Science
23
relevant to chemical residue analysis, was awarded to Dr. Harold McNair, Professor Emeritus in
24
Analytical Chemistry from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. During his
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
25
distinguished career, Dr. McNair has authored over 150 research publications, lectured, and
26
taught seminars around the world to advance chromatographic separation science. Dr. Kevin
27
Schug, a professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Texas at Arlington, TX, and a
28
former student of Dr. McNair, accepted the award on Dr. McNair’s behalf and presented a
29
keynote address.

This special issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry devoted to the 54th
43
NACRW, showcases research topics presented at the 2017 workshop. The five publications
44
collected for the special issue cover several aspects of residue analysis, including novel
45
developments in sample processing, sample preparation, advanced instrumental analysis of
46
diverse contaminants: pesticides, nitrofuran metabolites, veterinary drugs and emerging
47
contaminants of concern in various food products.

My fondest 2017 workshop memories were talking to the first time attendees, who
49
expressed how much they learned at the meeting, enjoyed the informal and friendly atmosphere,
50
and appreciated the opportunities to meet experts and build their network. The 55th NACRW
51
(www.nacrw.org) is scheduled for July 22-25, 2018 at the Naples Grande, Naples, FL, and many
52
talented volunteers are diligently working to prepare another terrific workshop. We invite you to
53
attend to learn about new developments in residue analysis in food and environmental samples,
54
to build your network, develop and expand your knowledge and skills, meet colleagues and make
55
new friends!
