INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS, 2021

……

Types of Manuscripts Published

The journal publishes five types of manuscripts: (1) Regular papers presenting new work (typically a maximum of 20 journal pages/20,000 words), (2) Scientific communications (five journal pages), (3) Express letters (no more than four journal pages), (4) Discussions of previously published articles (no more than two journal pages), and (5) Invited overview papers based on original compilation and synthesis from published and unpublished work (no more than 20 journal pages). In calculating the length of a submittal, the following guidelines apply: a journal page contains 1,000 words or 48 references; published lengths include abstract, text, figures, tables, references, and appendices. Page estimates for figures and tables can be made by comparison with recent issues of the journal.

Regular papers

Regular papers, focused on new data, may discuss any aspect of economic geology, including all classes of mineral deposits as well as the tectonics or geochemistry of mineralized regions, studies of experimental or natural systems of minerals involved in ore deposits, modeling of processes, sampling statistics, exploration techniques, potential new sources of metals, and environmental geochemistry of mine sites. We especially encourage authors to submit field-based studies that include new geologic maps and cross sections of mineral deposits and/or of mineralized districts. Regular papers are reviewed by at least two expert readers and at least one member of the Editorial Board.

Scientific communications, express letters, and discussions Scientific communications are intended to serve as topical progress reports prior to the publication of a major paper, to disseminate new ideas on topics of current interest, or to describe a new technique and its applications. In any of these cases, scientific communications must stand alone and contain sufficient data to support conclusions. They are evaluated by only one referee and one member of the Editorial Board, which can permit more rapid publication.

Express letters showcase new or developing ideas, methods, or discoveries, the timely publication of which clearly benefits the readers of the journal. They are short (2 to 4 printed pages, including figures, tables, and references) and are reviewed only by a member of the Editorial Board and the Editor of the journal. They may contain elements of longer papers that might appear later in the regular pages of the journal, but they should not be extended abstracts of full-length journal papers.

Express letters are NOT an easier path to publication of what should be a longer paper. They must pass a significant hurdle of needing immediate publication on a pressing or novel topic.

Discussions of previously published articles may receive a formal review if advisable, and the author of a paper under discussion is always given the opportunity to reply. Usually, the Discussion and Reply are then published together.

Overview papers

Overview papers generally are invited by the Editor or by members of the Editorial Board. Authors interested in writing a paper of an overview or summary nature should consult with the Editor (EconGeolJour@gmail.com) prior to submittal. Overview papers should present new insights about specific ore deposit types, ore-forming environments, or oreforming processes through original compilations of published and unpublished work. They should be written to educate the reader rather that simply compile information. Creative reviews should critically assess the data in the light of competing hypotheses, and genetic models should be discussed in the context of older ideas as well as their relevance to exploration concepts. Overview papers will be reviewed by at least two expert readers and at least one member of the Editorial Board. Upon acceptance they will be published as the lead article of the next available issue. Time to publication can be very quick for a well-written paper.
