General
The Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing, sponsored by the University of Science and Technology Beijing, started bimonthly publication, at home and abroad, in 1994. It provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the fields of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials. Papers dealing with mineral processing, mining, mine safety, environmental pollution and protection of mines, process metallurgy, metallurgical physical chemistry, metals working, structure and physical properties of materials, corrosion and resistance of materials, and applications of control theory to the above fields are viewed as suitable for publication. This journal is indexed by SCI, EI, CA, MA, AJ, and other services.

International contributions with the above scope are welcome.
