Focus and Scope

Mining Technology Journal deals with fundamental and applied aspects of the mining enineering. The journal aims to advance the exploration, exploitation and utilization of natural resources, and to stimulate environmental awareness and sustainable development.

The scope of the journal encompasses basic research, laboratory studies and field studies in:

• Exploration of natural resources (coal, metals, rare earth element, ect.)
• Feasibility studies
• Mining construction
• Mining operation
• Mineral processing and extraction
• Transportation and marketing of mining commodity
• Reclamation and post-mining

Types of contributions published are: research papers describing original theoretical (with potential for application) and applied research; and overviews of recent literature. Research papers that combine theory and experiments and/or field studies are especially welcome.

Peer Review Process

This journal operates a single anonymized review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two or three independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves or have been written by family members or colleagues or which relate to products or services in which the editor has an interest. Any such submission is subject to all of the journal's usual procedures, with peer review handled independently of the relevant editor and their research groups.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Aim and Scope
