Mineralogy (Mineralogiya in Russian) is an international scientific peer-reviewed open-acсess journal, which publishes papers covering a broad spectrum of problems of mineralogy and adjacent sciences (geology of mineral deposits, petrology, geochemistry, crystallography).  

Mineralogy was founded in 2015.  Since March 26, 2019, Mineralogy has been included in the Journal List of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, in which the main results of scientific studies must be published before the defense of candidate and doctoral dissertations on the following topics:

1. Natural sciences
1.6. Earth and environmental sciences
1.6.3. Petrology, volcanology
1.6.4. Mineralogy, crystallography. Geochemistry, geochemical methods of searching of mineral deposits
1.6.5. Lithology
1.6.10. Geology, prospects, and exploration of solid mineral deposits, minerageny.
 
 

Aim, scope and topic

The aim of Mineralogy is the development of fundamental and applied scientific knowledge of a broad mineralogical spectrum including global and regional mineralogy and minerageny, mineralogy of mineral deposits, technological mineralogy, ontogeny of minerals, ecological mineralogy and geochemistry, biomineralogy, and archaeological mineralogy. The results of mineralogical studies published in Mineralogy are closely related to the priority direction of the developement of science of the Russian Federation “Rational Nature Management”.

The tasks of Mineralogy are to familiarize a scientific audience with new mineralogical data. Starting from the 2nd issue of 2019 each article published in Mineralogy is assigned a digital identifier DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

Mineralogy publishes high-quality peer-reviewed papers and brief reports on Russian and English on the following topics:

  • General questions of mineralogy and crystallography
  • Minerals and mineral assemblages
  • History of mineralogy
  • Mineralogy of mineral deposits, problems of genesis of ore deposits
  • Ecological mineralogy and ecogeochemistry
  • Mineralogy of technogenic objects
  • Archaeological mineralogy
  • Biomineralogy
  • Reviews and discussions
