Aims & Scope

The European Journal of Mineralogy (EJM) was founded to reach a large audience on an international scale and also to achieve closer cooperation of European countries in the publication of scientific results. The founding societies have set themselves the task of publishing a journal of the highest standard open to all scientists performing mineralogical research, in the widest sense of the term, all over the world. Contributions will therefore be published primarily in English. EJM publishes original papers, review articles, and letters dealing with the mineralogical sciences: primarily mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, crystallography, and ore deposits, but also biomineralogy and environmental, applied and technical mineralogy. Nevertheless, papers in any related field, including cultural heritage, will be considered.
