This article continues the regular series of publications related to monitoring of progress in analytical chemistry, as well as chemistry in general. The top scientometric method is used, which scores citation and co-citation of scientific articles. The purpose of this research is to identify research fronts. In 2020, “hot” research and development in energetics, advanced materials, and organic synthesis, were continued. The long-term trend of biologization, medicalization, and miniaturization of chemical analysis was expressed in numerous articles in fields of microfluidics and sensors, as in previous years. Also, research in metabolomics and microextraction resulted in individual fronts.
