Editor-in-Chief: Professor Adam Smoliński
Journal of Sustainable Mining (ISSN 2300-3960) is an international, scholarly, peer-reviewed and open access journal. This journal casts a new light on the wide range of issues surrounding mining that are impacting its sustainability. It brings together wide-ranging approaches, globally, in order to develop a forum for discussion of mining practices, always with an eye towards their impact on sustainability and efficiency. Journal of Sustainable Mining is published quarterly online by Central Mining Institute – National Research Institute (Główny Instytut Górnictwa – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, GIG-PIB) and hosted on Digital Commons, an Elsevier platform.
