Special issue on Mineral Deposits of Latin America and the Caribbean (Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana)
Heads up! We are intending to publish a special issue on Mineral Deposits of Latin America and the Caribbean in the Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana (BSGM, http://boletinsgm.igeolcu.unam.mx/bsgm/). The BSGM is a completely free access semi-annual journal, the oldest strictly peer-reviewed journal on Earth Sciences in Mexico and one of the oldest in Latin America, and is included in the Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports, SciELO, Scopus, and in many other instruments. We do not aim to restrict our scope to any type of deposits or type of studies, and all contributions related to the formation of mineral deposits in Latin America, the Caribbean or conterminous regions are most welcome, from the regional to the mineral-association scales of observation and analysis. Both original research papers and original thematic reviews are welcome as either full-length papers or short notes. Both Industry and Academia authors are encouraged to submit their contributions. Contributions focused on mineral deposits from Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela and the Dominican Rep. are so far lined up! The guest editors to this special issue are · Joaquín A. Proenza (Universitat de Barcelona), · Lisard Torró (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú), and · Carl E. Nelson (Recursos del Caribe S.A.). All inquiries associated with this special issue or the journal itself are be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief of the BSGM (Antoni Camprubí, [email protected]). Contributions can be written in either English or Spanish, and must adhere to our instructions to authors (http://boletinsgm.igeolcu.unam.mx/bsgm/index.php/instrucciones-instructions). We apply no restrictions with regard to number of pages, number of figures or tables (other than those determined by our valued scientific reviewers), and we do not charge for coloured figures of for any other matter. First, we need to have a precise idea of how many contributions can be effectively expected for this call for papers; therefore, we need the interested contributors to kindly provide a tentative title, a list of authors (with their institution names and contact emails), and a 300-word synopsis of their intended contributions. Important dates: · November 3, 2018: deadline for submittal of tentative title, author list and synopsis. · May 31, 2019: deadline for submittal of original manuscripts · August 31, 2019: deadline for all revisions by peers of submitted manuscripts. · October 31, 2019: deadline for submittal of revised manuscripts. · April 30, 2020: deadline for online publication of all accepted contributions. The dates above are only tentative and may be corrected depending on the amount of contributions to this issue. Any changes in schedule will be notified to all contributors as soon as necessary. Do not hesitate to forward this message to any colleagues you may consider to have a potential interest in this special issue. We will surely be most grateful to you for your help in disseminating this information.
Could write a paper on some aspect of the Cerro Colorado porphyry deposit in Panama.
Dear Michael Issigonis
A paper about Cerro Colorado would be most welcome!
Dear Osama Rahil Shaltami Sorry, but this special issue does not deal wit surface water at all, but you could submit your manuscript to the same journal as a regular contribution nonetheless.
Dear Segun Michael Abegunde
It is all about mineral deposits of any type in Latin America and the Caribbean and that is the only restriction we have thought of. One may send contributions at any scale of study regardless of their focus, whether it is mineralogy, the characteristics of mineralizing fluids (or their sources), timing of mineralization, local metallogeny, regional metallogeny, etc. Or all the above at once.
Dear Jorge Costa-de-Moura
Yes, indeed, it fits perfectly!! One of my concerns about this special issue is that we may not get much contributions from the mineral deposits giant that is Brazil... Therefore, feel free to send your original contributions. Further, we would be equally grateful if you could disseminate this call for papers among your colleagues in Brazil. Obrigado!
Dear @Jorge Costa-de-Moura
That would be may email address: [email protected]
Please see the deadlines in the call for papers.
With my collegues we can provide articles of industrial minerals in Jamaica and ceramic and bentonitic clay deposits in Belize. If interested send email to [email protected].
Dear Jaromir Tvrdy , it would be great to have such contributions from you! I will mail you as requested, right away. S pozdravem.
Dear Antoni Camprubi, I wonder if we could send a contribution on the REE deposits along the Eastern coast of India where we have been working for sometime. Hopefully we could add some inter-comparison data on the REE's from Brazil from the relevant publication available. Wonder how much time we have to prepare the same if agreeable. Thanks and Regards.
Dear Debashish Sengupta, if you can manage to relate these deposits with the Brazilian ones, that would be an interesting contribution for this particular special issue. If not, you might as well be interested in considering yours as a regular contribution to the journal. In either case, we will be happy to receive it! Best regards.
Bolivia is missing on your list of Latin American states. Why?
Best regards,
Guenter Grundmann
Unwilling to be unfair to any country of the region, here is a list of all the countries and territories that are potentially involved in this special issue, in alphabetical order:
Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Bonaire, Bouvet Island, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Chile, Clipperton Island, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curaçao, Dominica, Dominican Rep., Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland or Malvinas islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Martinique, Mexico, Montserrat, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Saba, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Uruguay, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Venezuela.
You can also add the deposits in the USA that share a metallogenic province with Mexico, or the Antarctic Peninsula and islands nearby, as this special issue is only subservient to Geology.
If I neglected to mention any other country or territory, please be so kind to inform me.
Two full papers already submitted, by the way! One from Brazil and the other from Mexico...
Doctor buenas noches
Muy interesante su proyecto, me gustaría participar con información de Zacatecas, México.
Hola Jorge. Adelante con su contribución, que será muy bienvenida. Vean las fechas críticas al inicio de esta entrada. Saludos.
Buenas noches Doctor
Ya paso la fecha 3 de noviembre, podría ingresar información en la siguiente etapa ?
Esa fecha era nada más para expresar una intención que nos ayudara a decidir si seguíamos adelante con el plan o bien lo modificábamos. Como el plan inicial se mantiene, pueden enviar sus contribuciones completas antes de la fecha límite para ello.
Feel free to submit your original manuscripts at any time. Just remember the deadline for it: next May 31st. Cheers!
