With more than 22 Mio. visitors (August 2024), the EVISA's data centre is without doubt the premier information source on the internet for all those seeking information, know-how and advice related to trace element determination and speciation.
The "Atomic Spectrometry Update" (ASU) Board of the "Journal of
Analytical Atomic Spectrometry" that reviews the literature about
speciation commented about the quality of the information provided by
the EVISA web portal "While much of the material on the World Wide Web
is of uncertain quality, the European Virtual Institute for Speciation
Analysis (EVISA) (home page, https://speciation.net/) is an
important source of information highlighting significant developments
in the area and is also regularly updated"
