Aims & Scope

Rock and Mineral Analysis closely focuses on the development frontier of Earth system science, the latest progress and development trend of natural resource experimental tests.

The major aims of the journal are to report the theoretical and method innovation in the field of high precision, sensitivity and spatial-resolution in situ microanalysis technology, isotope analysis technology, element speciation analysis technology, new pollutant analysis technology, ecological restoration technology of typical site, on-site rapid detection and analysis technology, new automatic and green sample processing technology, and important standard material development technology.

Topics reflect the basic, forward-looking and original research results of experimental testing technology in solving key problems in key fields such as critical minerals, energy geology, marine geology, ecological geology, GeoHealth, agricultural geology, hydrogeology, and karst geology.

The journal is dedicated to promoting sci-tech innovation and analysis technology progress of Geology, Environment, Ecology, Analytical Chemistry and relative interdisciplinary fields.
