Editorial policy on publishing ethics

The editorial and publishing ethics of the journal “Geology and Geochemistry of Combustible Minerals” is based on the recognition of universal moral norms that are common to different social groups, in their application in the scientific and editorial process in order to adhere to  ethical norms in regulating relations between the main participants of this process: Author, Editorial Board, Editors, Reviewers. For journals published or co-founded by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the main issues of legal and ethical norms of cooperation, as well as the responsibilities of the Editor-in-Chief, Editors, Editorial Board are set out in the “Regulations on scientific editions and periodicals”.

Reviewing

Scientific articles submitted to the editorial board must be reviewed. The form of article review is external (review of article manuscripts by two leading specialists in the relevant field of science). The article is double-blind reviewed. The editor-in-chief / secretary informs the author of the review by e-mail.

If the reviewer provides an opinion on the revision of the article, the editor-in-chief / secretary, in agreement with the scientific editor, sends the article to the author for revision. The list of remarks, questions, comments of the reviewer is attached to the letter. The deadline for completion is determined by the editor-in-chief of the journal and should not exceed 5 calendar days from the date of receipt of the article by the author. The author adds a letter to the updated article, which contains answers to the comments, questions of the reviewer and an explanation of all the changes that were made before the content of the article. The editor-in-chief / secretary notifies the author of the review by e-mail.

Having a positive review is not a sufficient condition for publishing an article. The final decision on the expediency of publication is made by the editorial board.

Scientific topics

The journal publishes general theoretical and methodological articles on all issues of geology and geochemistry of combustible minerals. In particular, the following topics are covered: regional geology, stratigraphy, paleogeography and tectonics of areas of distribution of combustible minerals, the conditions for the formation of patterns of location of their deposits; problems of sedimentology and lithology of the provinces of combustible minerals; genesis of combustible minerals – oil, gas, coal, shale, etc .; structural features of the earth’s crust within the oil and gas provinces; reservoir properties of productive horizons of oil and gas fields; methods of prospecting, exploration and assessment of forecast reserves of combustible mineral deposits; geochemistry of deep solutions associated with the processes occurring in the upper mantle and the earth’s crust; chemical and isotopic composition of combustible minerals; modelling of processes of formation and metamorphism of combustible minerals; oil and gas migration; problems of geotechnology of combustible minerals; chemical and isotopic composition of combustible minerals; geochemistry of rare and scattered elements in rocks of oil and gas and coal areas; hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry and protection of the hydrosphere.

Leading scientists and specialists in the field of studying the geology and geochemistry of combustible minerals are involved in the editorial board of the journal.
