Abstract: The current study focuses on the status of automation and 
mechanization in spectroscopy for analytical chemistry publications 
compiled during the period 1980 2006, in Analytical Abstracts. Flow 
injection analysis (FIA), sequential injection analysis (SIA), 
multicommutation, and monosegmented and segmented flow strategies were 
considered. For assessing the evolution of scientific productivity, the 
total number of publications concerned with the different methodologies was 
evaluated. In order to provide a picture of the state of the art of this 
field, the most important journals, the most active authors, and the most 
productive countries in the field of automation were evaluated in the 
period of the first years of this century.
