About the journal
Archives of Mining Sciences (AMS) is concerned with original research, new developments and case studies in mining sciences and energy, civil engineering and environmental engineering. The journal provides an international forum for the publication of high quality research results in:
- mining technologies,
- mineral processing,
- stability of mine workings,
- mining machine science,
- ventilation systems,
- rock mechanics,
- termodynamics,
- underground storage of oil and gas,
- mining and engineering geology,
- geotechnical engineering,
- tunnelling,
- design and construction of tunnels,
- design and construction on mining areas,
- mining geodesy,
- environmental protection in mining,
- revitalisation of postindustrial areas.
Papers are welcomed on all relevant topics and especially on theoretical developments, analytical methods, numerical methods, rock testing, site investigation, and case studies.
Archives of Mining Sciences is peer-reviewed and published quarterly in English. AMS publishes research and review articles, technical notes.
All submitted manuscripts undergo fair, constructive and comprehensive peer-review provided by at least two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Authors are requested to suggest persons competent to review their manuscripts. However, please note that this will be treated only as a suggestion.
Papers suitable for publication in AMS are those which:
- contain original work – the main result is not published elsewhere neither by the authors nor somebody else, and is not currently under consideration for publication in any other journal,
- are focused on the core aims and scope of the journal,
- are clearly and correctly written in English.
