Mining | Aims and Scope Update

To further clarify the scope of Mining (ISSN: 2673-6489), under the guidance of our Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Mostafa Benzaazoua, the journal has updated its aims and scope. All new updates can be seen below:

Aims (new version):	Aims (old version):
Mining (ISSN: 2673-6489) is an advanced forum for studies related to mining science and engineering in the 21st century. As of late, the mining industry has known many metamorphoses constrained by numerous economic, technical, social, and environmental issues. World-leading mining companies still need high-level research and developments in many domains related to the complete mining cycle. Therefore, research related to mining is growing in many related fields. The journal publishes reviews, regular research papers, and technical notes as well as Special Issues on particular subjects. The aim of Mining is to encourage scientists to publish their research work in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the maximum length of papers submitted to the journal. Full experimental details should be provided so that the results can be reproduced. In addition, electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculations and experimental procedure as well as source codes can be submitted as supplementary material.	Mining (ISSN: 2673-6489) is a new Journal dedicated to the scientifically rigorous dissemination of peer-reviewed publications pertinent to mining science and engineering in the 21st century. It will benefit from the success of the MDPI publishing strategy in many research areas. The mining industry has known recently many metamorphoses constrained by numerous economical, technical, social, and environmental issues. World-leading mining companies still need high-level research and developments in many domains related to the complete mining cycle. Therefore, research related to mining is growing in many related fields. Mining is an accessible tribune, which will encourage submissions in the form of reviews, research papers, and technical notes in mining-related scientific themes. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. We are an online journal, and we aim to benefit from that by encouraging researchers to report their research work in as much detail as possible. This is a requirement as our aim is to publish research that can be scrutinized in minute detail and replicated.
