Geodynamic setting, Genesis and Prospect of High-grade Iron Ores
Submission DeadLine: 28 February 2025
Iron (Fe), in the form of cast iron and steel, is arguably the backbone of all industrial development, and indispensable to modern civilization. China is currently the largest consumer of iron ore, which translates to be the world's largest steel producing country and is the largest producer of iron ore in Asia. In addition to Archean-Proterozoic banded iron formations (BIF), the iron ores in China are also found in volcanic, plutonic rocks and skarns as well. This feature is closely related to the complex architecture and prolonged evolution of three Precambrian cratons or blocks in China. Hence, to elucidate the geodynamic setting, genesis and prospect of high-grade iron ores is a major socio-economic focus.
The proposed special issue will cover the recent studies on the main types of iron mineralization, as well as the method of exploration. It can be divided into several sub-topics, including
Geodynamic setting of iron mineralization;
Banded iron formation (BIF) deposits;
Volcanic-hosted iron deposits;
Magmatic Ti–Fe-(V) deposits;
Skarn and apatite–magnetite deposits;
Exploration methods.

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences的CAR指数
2023年3月份科睿唯安官方一次性踢除35本SCI期刊，多数涉及学术诚信问题，让我们意识到学术期刊的“被踢”指数，也很重要。目前，对于期刊的“被踢”指数，这里介绍一下：CAR指数（关于CAR的详细介绍，请关注：www.jcarindex.com），这是一种评价期刊学术诚信风险的指数，指数越高代表可能的风险越大。从数据看，Journal of Asian Earth Sciences不管是2023年度，还是2024年度的CAR指数，都是比较低的。当然，CAR指数仅供参考，期刊风险情况，需以科睿唯安或中科院预警等官方为准！
