II. Scope & Description

The International Journal of Coal ScienceTechnology is a peerreviewed Open Access journal focusing on key topics of coal scientific research and mining development. It will serve as an international forum for scientists to present their research findings and to discuss new developments and challenging issues in the field.The scope of coverage is broad extending to such topics asCoal geology geochemistry geophysics mineralogy and petrologycoal basin and coal seam formation and evolution petrology of coal organic matterrich shales including mineralogy geochemistry formation transport and storage of gases in coal and shales unconventional energy systems e.g. oil shales shale gas and other carbonbased fuels ore deposits of materials and rare metals in coal and coalbearing strata and groundwater management.Coal mining theory technology and engineeringcoalmeasure rocksground behavior mine construction drift excavation grouting support technology tunnels mining disaster prevention green mining top coal caving systematic mining technology for superthick or thin seams CBM exploration and managementCoal processing utilization and conversioncoal chemistry beneficiation liquefaction gasification coal water slurry coal power plant combustion coking by and end products of coal utilization clean coal technology low carbon technology CCUS and IGCC.Coal mining environment and reclamationWaste management and waste minimization practices coal mine site closure decommissioning and reclamation adverse effects of toxic elements during coal utilization and mining postcombustion pollution control waste disposal and mine water drainage.Other key topics relating to coal science and technologymine survey mine health and safety CO2 mineralization and utilization etc.
