title: Validation in context of bioanalytical research papers.
abstract: We have noticed the growing amount of application papers, mainly focused on detailed description of analytical assay validation with limited discussion of method development and optimization in top-ranked chromatographic journals. We analyze the implications of this trend and suggest a re-emphasis on the intellectual component in method development.
