Instructions for Authors

【2025年06期信息】

International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials is dedicated to the publication and the dissemination of original research articles (and occasional invited reviews) in the fields of Minerals, Metallurgyand Materials. It is covered by EI Compendex, SCI Expanded, Chemical Abstract, etc.

Manuscript preparation

The following components are required for a complete manuscript: Title, Author(s),Author affiliation(s),Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements and References.

Title and byline

The title of the paper should be explicit, descriptive and as brief as possible. Exact name, title, affiliation (institution) of the authors, city, zip code, country, and e-mail address of the author(s) should be listed.

Abstract

Should be self-contained and adequate as a summary of the article; namely, it should indicate aim and significance, newly observed facts, conclusions, and the essential parts of any new theory, treatment, apparatus, technique, etc. The abstract should not contain literature citations. Define the nonstandard symbols and abbreviations used in the abstract. Avoid “built-up”equations that cannot be rendered in linear fashion within the running text. The abstract should be concise and informative with a length of about 200 words.

Keywords

Should include 4-8 pieces of words or phrases that are helpful for cross-indexing the paper.

Main text

Should contain an introduction that puts the paper into perspective for readers, and should also contain methods, results, discussion, and conclusions. The SI system must be used for units of measure throughout the text. The text should make clear distinctions between physical variables, mathematical symbols, units of measurement, abbreviations,chemicalformulas, etc. Physical quantities should be set in normal italic, and vectors, tensors, and matrices in boldface italic. Please give full spellings of abbreviations where they are first used in the paper in the following form: full spelling (abbreviation), such as, spark plasma sintering (SPS). Also it should be indicated what meaning variables denote when they first appear in the paper, for example, D is the grain size.

Each equation or formula should be numbered in order with Arabic numerals placed on the right-hand margin.Each figure (including a,b, c, etc. of each figure) and each table must present a caption and consecutively numbered with Arabicnumerals and must be mentioned in the text. They should be self-explanatory.  Tables should be drawn with three horizontal lines, at the top and bottom of the table and between the column headings and the table body.

Figures

Electronic figures should be submitted. Figures should be saved as Photoshop compatible minimum 600 dpi TIFF or JPEG files. Line drawings should be clear, well designed and editable. Indicate clearly what is being plotted, in both the horizontal and the vertical directions. Include appropriate units. The lettering and plotted points should be large enough to be legible after reduction.

Conflict of Interest

All authors must declare financial/commercial conflicts of interest. If the authors have no conflicts of interest, this should be stated.

References

Only essential references (journal article, monograph, dissertation, report, proceedings, standard, patent, and/or electronic publication, formally published) cited in the text can be listed and must be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals (e.g.[1]). And all the authors of references need to be listed. Personal communications and unpublished data are not acceptable references.
