Getting past the desk at Journal of Mining Institute is usually less about the research and more about matching the journal’s exact submission rules. This template is built around JMI’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, a numbered reference style (confirm in the guide) references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JMI author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JMI’s specifications for mining, geology, and earth-resource engineering. Journal of Mining Institute is published by Empress Catherine II Saint Petersburg Mining University. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) order, and a reference list in a numbered reference style (confirm in the guide) style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a structured abstract of about 200–250 words. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses a numbered reference style (confirm in the guide). Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest, funding, and data availability.
Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep a numbered reference style (confirm in the guide) formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through the journal's online submission system — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JMI’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, a numbered reference style (confirm in the guide) reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JMI journal home page. Journal of Mining Institute is open access with no author charges. Manuscripts go in through the journal's online submission system, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JMI requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a structured abstract of about 200–250 words |
| Main text | Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) |
| Declarations | Conflict of interest, funding, and data availability |
| Figures / tables | Captioned, cited in order; check format and resolution rules in the guide |
| Supplemental | Large datasets, extra tables, code — uploaded separately and cited in text |
| Submission | the journal's online submission system |
Read the JMI author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set a numbered reference style (confirm in the guide) as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in.
Skim two or three recent JMI papers to calibrate depth, structure, and figure style. State your contribution in the first two paragraphs, not on page ten. Write a data-availability statement that names a real repository rather than a placeholder, and disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in your cover letter. Confirm current open-access pricing and any institutional agreement before committing to a fee.
Do one focused pass against the JMI author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, a numbered reference style (confirm in the guide) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's online submission system.
