Journal Guide

Journal of Sustainable Mining covers topics related to mining sciences. The journal's subject matter includes: Mining Technology and Technique; Mining Geophysics; Geoengineering; Geology of Mineral Deposits; Natural and Technological Hazards in Mines; Occupational Safety and Health; Rock Mechanics; Mining Surveying; Management of Mineral Resources; Material Engineering; Clean Coal Technologies; Economics and Industry Organization; and Social Aspects of Mining Activities.

Today's mining of mineral resources faces the challenges related to the more complex extraction conditions, e.g. great depths, natural hazards, environmental restrictions, which all increase the production costs. This is the reason why a novel approach towards the mining sector focuses on the development of environment friendly, clean technologies of minerals extraction and processing. In this respect much attention is given to the development of Clean Coal Technologies addressing also the increasing demand for energy carriers and the challenges concerning the emission limits in mining and energy sector. Therefore, the papers related to the application of the innovative Clean Coal Technologies, like coal gasification in surface and underground reactors, co-gasification of coal with biomass and waste materials, highly efficient combustion, hydrogenation, polygeneration as well as novel catalysts and thermodynamic aspects of thermochemical conversion of solid fuels are also welcome.

Many environmental issues are an inseparable part of any kind of mining activity and influence overall economic system of mining industry. Sustainable management of environment in any way affected by mining activity has crucial influence on a matter of national environmental significance in countries where mining of fossil fuels and valuable minerals is under development. That is why Journal of Sustainable Mining covers also topics related to Environmental Protection at Industrial Areas; Safe waste disposal and Post-mining land reclamation including recently raised problems caused by NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) that are inherent in exploitations of many kinds of natural resources.

Personalized Medicine Universe, an official journal of the International Society of Personalized Medicine, publishes original articles.
The aim of personalized medicine is to provide an individual therapeutic strategy taking into consideration diagnosis based on both biotechnology and environmental factors that may influence therapeutic response. The key factor in personalized medicine is an individual's medical portrait which will be highlighted by patient-specific information such as lifestyle, philosophy, and current mental and somatic problems as well as pharmacogenomics and biomarkers.
Genomic medicine, pharmacogenomics, and proteomics, which are the base of translational research in realization of personalized medicine, have made rapid strides. A platform for discussion and research in the field of techniques and methods of how to utilize them in clinical practice will be the most important factor in realizing personalized medicine.
Personalized Medicine Universe aims to publish the highest quality papers seeking to establish the field of personalized medicine in clinical applications and to develop it further.
Personalized Medicine Universe is a peer-reviewed, international, English-language journal for medical researchers and clinicians as well as medical professionals, healthcare organizations, and patients who seek objective and clinical information on personalized medicine in order to deepen understanding of these approaches and accelerate their research and clinical practice.
Personalized Medicine Universe is owned by the International Society of Personalized Medicine aiming for the integration of person-oriented diagnosis on the basis of biotechnology and evidence-based treatment.
