Dear colleagues,
The American Mineralogist has now opened a Special Section in its
Centennial Volume (2015-2016) on the theme of "Rates and Depths of
Magma Ascent on Earth".
The Special Section is now open for submission (see details below), and
will remain open until December 31, 2015. Editors for this special
section are Georg F. Zellmer and Renat R. Almeev.
An important aspect is that American Mineralogist is set to become a
more general journal for the Earth Science, as reflected in the subtitle
of "A Journal of Earth and Planetary Materials". This means that
manuscripts are now accepted that could go to Geochim CosmochimActa,
Contrib Mineral Petrol, G-cubed, Earth Planet Sci Lett, J Volcanol
Geotherm Res, etc.
Here are some facts that to assist your decision to contribute to this
volume:
-- American Mineralogist offers print-on-demand which means that papers
are published online as they are accepted, without waiting for the
closure date for the Special Section*. Once the section is closed, a
journal-formatted collection of all the papers will be printed. The
online publication date of the paper will be retained.
-- Shorter papers are encouraged. While American Mineralogist accepts
long papers as well, the regular articles have a 30 printed page limit
(or a rough limit of 100 manuscript pages, when text, figures, tables
etc. are taken together).
-- American Mineralogist offers unlimited color in the on-line version
of the journal is free to all MSA members ($80/year, and that includes
Elements and American Mineralogist subscriptions).
-- Color in the print version is $450/paper - not per page, but per an
entire paper. However, if a paper has a huge amount of color maps, the
fee may increase.
-- American Mineralogist is cited in ISI and Scopus

(Zellmer/Almeev) anytime, and also a short notice of intent and

submitted at some future date.
