Dear Ian,
thanks for good news regarding IMM Trasnactions. I have several ideas
regarding industrial minerals and building raw materials but it depends
if you as an executive editor will be interested?
With best wishes

>Hi Everyone,
>
>This is to let you all know that I have taken over as the new Executive
>Editor of Applied Earth Science (IMM Transactions section B) and that
>the journal is being relaunched with a new editorial team. It's fair to
>say that AES lost its way to a degree over the last few years and
>slipped off many people's radar as a forum in which to publish their
>work. This is a shame because the journal (particularly as IMM section
>B) has had a long and distinguished history. I and the new editorial
>team want to revive it, to bring the journal back to respectability and
>provide the international economic geology community with another place
>to look for good quality mineral deposit research, alongside the likes
>of Economic Geology and Mineralium Deposita.
>
>The relaunch will coincide with a special volume devoted to new research
>on the Ni-Cu-PGE deposits of the northern Bushveld Complex, which we
>expect to be published in December. Have a look out for this. The
>intention is to make it a free to download edition, available from the
>AES website, and it will hopefully give an indication of how the journal
>is changing and where the new team wants to go with it.
>
>An outline of what we plan for the journal, it's scope and the types of
>submissions that we are especially keen to receive is pasted below.
>
>AES is changing. We firmly believe, for the better. And we hope that
>over the coming weeks and months we will be able to demonstrate that.
>And that you will want to contribute to it. There are lots of positives
>like lack of page changes and rapid publication that work to everyone's
>benefit, if you want to take advantage of them.
>
>I will let you know more about the Bushveld issue and how to get hold of
>it nearer the publication date.
>
>Cheers,
>
>Iain McDonald and the AES editorial team.

>Relaunch of Applied Earth Science
>
>
>As the new Editor, I am pleased to be able to contact you with
>information on the relaunch of Applied Earth Science (IMM Transactions
>section B, incorporating Proc. AusIMM) under a new editorial team. This
>change takes effect from the final issue of the 2005 volume - a
>specially commissioned issue devoted to the Northern Bushveld complex.
>The papers in this issue strongly reflect the new focus of the journal
>on studies into the genesis of mineral deposits and innovative
>applications of new technology in exploration and mining.
>
>The new editorial structure, incorporating a team of international
>Associate Editors, is shown below:
>
>Executive Editor

>The new editorial team will aim to ensure that the journal serves the
>wider economic geology community, with high-quality papers on all
>aspects of research into exploration, mining and mineral deposits. The
>membership of the board is international, with a range of interests that
>covers the majority of mineral commodities and deposit types.
>
>
>Coverage
>
>The journal seeks high quality submissions covering the following areas:
>
>(a) All forms of exploration technology applied to mineral deposits.
>This may include: mapping, application of remote sensing and GIS,
>geochemical and geophysical exploration techniques, and physical
>exploration techniques such as drilling or development sampling.
>
>(b) Studies into the genesis of mineralization. This may include: ore
>mineralogy, geochemistry, studies of isotopes or fluid inclusions, or
>numerical modelling.
>
>(c) Geological input into the following: definition of reserves and
>resources, sampling and grade control, geostatistics, feasibility
>studies and mine planning.
>
>
>The journal would particularly encourage:
>
>(a) Submissions from young researchers (including PhD students) who
>are keen to have their work published rapidly.
>
>(b) Submissions from the early stages of research projects that
>describe field relations or subsurface relationships (e.g. with
>accompanying maps or drill hole logs) that provide essential context for
>follow-up genetic studies.
>
>(c) Case studies for the successful exploration and/or evaluation of
>mineral deposits.
>
>
>Advantages of publishing in Applied Earth Science
>
>Applied Earth Science has just implemented an online submission and
>refereeing system and aims to offer a rapid turn-around, with
>publication within 9 months of submission. This may be shortened to 3 or
>6 months for particularly important or timely contributions.
>
>Applied Earth Science has no page charges.
>
>Applied Earth Science has a discretionary budget for colour printing.
>There is some support available for free use of colour Figures, either
>in print or in the online version of the journal only, in those articles
>that are judged innovative or significant by the editorial board.
>
>SUBMISSIONS

>Manuscripts may be submitted online at:
