SME teams with Springer for new journal; Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration journal to debut in 2019

摘要

Well, maybe I'm not quite that excited, but it's close. Paying tribute to a Pointer Sisters song is not crazy - I'm of the generation that cheered on the 1979 "We Are Family" Pittsburgh Pirates. Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (MME) journal. I'm pleased to announce a new SME member benefit, the Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (MME) journal that will launch in early 2019. We'll build on the success of our Minerals & Metallurgical Processing (M&MP) journal that has been led for many years by Dr. S. Komar Kawatra with oversight from the Mineral & Metallurgical Processing Division (MPD). Under Dr. Kawatra's leadership, this journal has published four issues each year, full of high-quality, widely referenced papers. This effort will continue as part of the new journal, and we will be able to publish more papers to a wider audience. Dr. Kawatra will serve on the Journal Oversight Committee as the past executive editor.
