The International Journal of Coal Geology deals with fundamental and applied aspects of the geology and petrology of coal, oil/gas source rocks and shale gas resources. The journal aims to advance the exploration, exploitation and utilization of these resources, and to stimulate environmental awareness as well as advancement of engineering for effective resource management.The scope of the journal encompasses basic research, laboratory studies and field studies in:Geology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and petrologyformation of coal and coal seams, including studies of modern coal-forming processes and environmentsmetamorphosis of coal materials in coal seams and dispersed in other rock typesgeologic aspects of coal measures, oil- and gas source rockspetrology, petrography and petrophysics of coal, coal seams and organic matter-rich shales including mineralogy, inorganic and organic geochemistry, and physical characteristics of these resourcesExploration and development of unconventional resourcesformation, transport and storage of gases in coals and shales including coal bed methane, coal mine methane, abandoned mine methaneunconventional petroleum systems (e.g. oil shales, oil sands, tar sands) and ore deposits of rare metals in coal and coal-bearing strataimpacts of coal mining and acid-mine drainageby and end products of coal utilization related to geology and constituents of coalemission reduction and carbon capture and storagegeological aspects of coal fires and underground coal gasificationTypes of contributions published are: research papers describing original theoretical (with potential for application) and applied research; proceedings of symposia; short contributions; surveys; reviews; book reviews; overviews of recent literature, and letters to the editor. Research papers that combine theory and experiments and/or field studies are especially welcome.
JGE: a journal for map-based geochemistry.Scope:The journal is dedicated to the publication of research studies that cover new developments in the application of analytical geochemistry and geoinformatics. Themes considered by the journal include:- Geochemical exploration and the genesis of mineral deposits- Metal transfer processes in large-scale mineralized areas- Chemical and transport processes for basinal fluids associated with mineral deposits and petroleum resources - Interdisciplinary studies at the boundaries between organic geochemistry, metal transport, and sites of mineral accumulation- Evaluation of the effects of historical mining activities on the surface environment- Environmental geochemistry and geology including metal migration and accumulation processes in the near-surface environment and impacts on human health- Other related studies.To create a platform for the repository of map-based geochemistry data, a new section entitled "For the record", is designated for publishing stand-alone geochemical mapping results.In order to manage manuscripts from all fields of study, the chief editors have divided the journal into topical sections: studies related to geoinformatics, geochemical exploration (excluding petroleum and organic geochemistry), geochemical baseline mapping, urban geochemistry, and map-based environmental geochemistry, including site characterization and remediation, are managed by Prof. Benedetto De Vivo; studies involving applications of geochemistry to ore genesis, the environment and to human health, geochemical distribution processes in mineralized areas affecting the surface environment, and geochemometrics are managed by Dr. Robert Ayuso.To further help in the delivery of high quality papers covering the breadth of themes to the journal, associate editors are assigned to individual papers within their own expertise from either editor.
Lithology and Mineral Resources (Litologiya i poleznye iskopaemye) reviews a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is devoted to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes, as the idea of actualism has always constituted one of the bases of the scientific philosophy of lithologists. A major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal-sedimentary mineral resources. The journal was founded in 1963 by Academician N. M. Strakhov. It will be of interest to lithologists, petrographers, geochemists, mineralogists, ore geologists and metallogenists, as well as to other geologists, ecologists, researchers of experimental and analytical laboratories, and graduate students.

Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy Review publishes papers dealing with both applied and theoretical aspects of extractive and process metallurgy and mineral processing. It emphasizes research germane to specific industrial processes and research that examines economic and environmental issues as well as basic engineering technology. Review papers devoted to ore genesis, properties and uses of minerals, the scientific, engineering and economic aspects of the extraction, separation and purification of minerals and metals, and the post-treatment of mineral processing and extractive treatment of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy effluents are also invited. In addition to regular issues, special issues addressing narrowly focused subjects of regional or topical significance are published when the Editors feel there is sufficient interest among readers.
Ore Geology Reviews aims to familiarize all earth scientists with recent advances in a number of interconnected disciplines related to the study of, and search for, ore deposits. The reviews range from brief to longer contributions, but the journal preferentially publishes manuscripts that fill the niche between the commonly shorter journal articles and the comprehensive book coverages, and thus has a special appeal to many authors and readers.Ore Geology Reviews covers topics related to ore geology in its broadest sense. The following exemplifies the range of subject matter that can be described and discussed in the journal:Metalliferous and non-metalliferous (industrial mineral) ore geology of all types; land-based and oceanic studies; economic geologyper se; pollution studies related to exploration and mining; ore and gangue mineralogy, petrography, petrology, petrogenesis; host-rock studies; metallogeny and minerogenesis (e.g. metallotectonics); specific deposits, districts, and belts; local to regional, detailed to general or reconnaissance studies, on any scale; pure and applied studies, i.e. theoretical and practical data; methodology of any kind: laboratory-based and field-oriented; geological (including stratigraphic, structural, remote-sensing); mathematical (e.g. computer geology); geochemical, geophysical and philosophical; research and exploration techniques.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
