Stable isotope analysis is increasingly used for a variety of applications in a broad range of fields, from earth to life sciences. Isotope Ratio Monitoring by NMR (irm‐NMR) is the only generic tool providing position‐specific isotope information. Numerous improvements were proposed during the last decade and it seems a good timing to publish a review summarizing the progress made. This special feature review article aims at emphasizing the crucial role of methodological developments in this area, from the early days of PSIA in 1981 to the most recent developments in multi‐dimensional NMR, as well as the different applications made possible by this analytical method. Furthermore, the implementation section summarizes the different steps to perform isotope analysis as a function of the sample properties and the kind of targeted isotopic information.
