Format your manuscript to the Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy Review requirements — abstract, a numbered style (confirm in the instructions for authors) references, and required declarations — and submit through ScholarOne Manuscripts without a formatting rejection.

Most manuscripts sent to Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy Review don’t stumble on the science — they stumble on formatting caught at the first editorial check. This template is built around MPEM’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, a numbered style (confirm in the instructions for authors) references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the MPEM author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to MPEM’s specifications for mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy Review is published by Taylor & Francis. 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 style (confirm in the instructions for authors) style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is an abstract of about 200 words. MPEM also expects format-free first submission is accepted. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses a numbered style (confirm in the instructions for authors). 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 style (confirm in the instructions for authors) formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through ScholarOne Manuscripts — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what MPEM’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, a numbered style (confirm in the instructions for authors) reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the MPEM journal home page. MPEM offers an open-access option; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver before you commit. Manuscripts go in through ScholarOne Manuscripts, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | MPEM requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | an abstract of about 200 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 | ScholarOne Manuscripts |
Read the MPEM 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 style (confirm in the instructions for authors) as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in. Prepare format-free first submission is accepted early rather than leaving it to the end.
Skim two or three recent MPEM 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 MPEM author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, a numbered style (confirm in the instructions for authors) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ScholarOne Manuscripts.
