As the journal of the Metallurgical Society of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (MetSoc), CMQ provides a forum for the publication of research papers and review articles on all aspects of metallurgy and materials science, including mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, materials processing, physical metallurgy and the service behaviour of materials.
Published since 1962, this peer-reviewed, quarterly journal welcomes contributions in English, with abstracts available in English and French. Submissions will be managed via the online submissions system Editorial Manager from late 2010. The first issue from Maney is due in January 2011. See the journal homepage for more information at www.maney.co.uk/journals/cmq.
CMQ’s Editor-in-Chief, Dr Doug Boyd, is pleased at the partnership with Maney: “Maney’s long-standing relationship with the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining in the UK was important in our choosing Maney as publishing partner. It is also an excellent opportunity to expand the journal’s international reach alongside Maney’s other materials science titles.”
Kimberly Martin, Executive Publisher at Maney, has been working with MetSoc in establishing the agreement: “We are delighted to welcome CMQ, a prestigious title which represents the first Canadian society journal to join Maney’s list.”
Maney’s first initiative will be to make the full archive of CMQ available online alongside current content via IngentaConnect, which will be available to subscribers and members of MetSoc. CMQ will also join the MORE Materials Science & Engineering Collection, a package of journals which provides institutions with instant online access to twenty-eight peer-reviewed international materials science journals.
Dr Doug Boyd is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen's University, Canada. Dr Boyd's research area is thermomechanical processing of microalloyed steels and other engineering alloys. From his 40 years of research in university, government and private industry, Dr. Boyd is widely known for applying the microstructural design approach to the development of new processing techniques and improved metal products. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 journal articles, conference papers and technical reports.
The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), the leading technical society of professionals associated with the Canadian minerals and materials industry, has 11,000 members from industry, government and academia who are dedicated to the discovery, production, utilization and economics of minerals, metals and petroleum.
The Metallurgical Society (MetSoc) is one of the four societies and five divisions making up the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Constituted as a Society in 1967, MetSoc is composed of nine technical sections, representing the technical diversity of the metals, minerals and materials community, and of nine standing committees dedicated to the various member services of the Society.
