Please note, we are currently updating the 2018 Journal Metrics. Lithology and Mineral Resources is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is given to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes. The major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on the continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal–sedimentary mineral resources. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.PEER REVIEW Lithology and Mineral Resources is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind peer review format. Our team of reviewers includes over 30 experts. The average period from submission to first decision in 2018 was 7 days, and that from first decision to acceptance was 180 days. The rejection rate for submitted manuscripts in 2018 was 15%. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by the Editorial Board. Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified or unable to review the manuscript due to the conflict of interests should promptly notify the editors and decline the invitation. Reviewers should formulate their statements clearly in a sound and reasoned way so that authors can use reviewer’s arguments to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors must be avoided. Reviewers should indicate in a review (i) any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, (ii) anything that has been reported in previous publications and not given appropriate reference or citation, (ii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge.

The paper analyzes original data obtained on the Atlantis‒Meteor seamount system during Cruise 33 of the R/V Akademik Nikolai Strakhov in the eastern North Atlantic. This system is a volcanic rise formed on the Canary abyssal plate and represents one of the key objects for understanding the geological history of opening of the central segment of the Atlantic Ocean. Basalts, tephrites, and organogenic...

The Sr isotope composition was studied in waters from 22 mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan, where the O and H isotope compositions, as well as concentrations of macro- and microelements, were determined earlier in (Lavrushin et al., 2015). Values of the 87Sr/86Sr ratio in the Azerbaijanian mud volcanoes range from 0.7067 to 0.7083. Its minimum value was recorded in water of Neftechala Yuzhnaya Volcano located...

Deposits in the Postmasburg field, South Africa, confined to rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup, occupy a significant place in world resources of the manganese and iron ores. The ore deposits represent karst residual accumulations. Several elements (B, Cr, Ni, Zn, Ge, As, Se, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sb, Te, W, Pb, REE) in them make up an assemblage providing insight into the geochemistry of the processes of ore...
