As I announced in the posting of 14 February, after 35 years this will be my last year as Editor-in-Chief of Minerals Engineering and the right time to pass the mantle on to the next generation.

Pablo is a senior lecturer at the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College, London and is an elected member of the International Mineral Processing Council (IMPC).
As well as his main duties as Editor-in-Chief, Pablo will act as Editor of papers from MEI Conferences, which lead to Virtual Special Issues of the journal, so I will continue to work with him in this area, and we can expect to see him at future MEI events. Minerals Engineering is now an official media partner for MEI Conferences.
Pablo takes over the journal which is in a very healthy state. The 2021 Impact Factors were published last month, and Minerals Engineering leads the field of relevant journals with a record high impact factor. Below is a list of the leading journals in our field, ranked by 2021 Impact Factor:
Minerals Engineering: 5.479
Mineral Processing & Extractive Metallurgy Review: 4.287
Hydrometallurgy: 4.217
International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy & Materials: 3.850
Minerals: 2.818
Minerals and Metallurgical Processing: 1.407
Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing: 1.047
Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly: 1.037.
I wish Pablo and his Editorial Board and Editors every success in maintaining and developing the reputation of the journal.

Congratulations Pablo. The baton will be in very good hands. A big thank you to Barry for your achievements and visions. Enjoy all the adventures coming your way.
ReplyDeleteDr. Pablo Brito-Parada, many congratulations, and my best wishes. The seat you are occupying has a "unique legacy"--Barry, you built from "nowhere" to this stage, brick by brick; my close association with mineral engineering from the early '60s to date--the Journal enthused many to carry out R&D of value in our specialized field (rarely given importance), many feel elated to see their work published in M.E.. The quality coupled with the speed with which each issue used to come out are a "benchmark' by any yardstick.. All known- but I have an emotional bonding with M.E. because my career at Indian School of Mines went parallel. You had such a network of "who is who" in mineral processing which ensured the growth of the Journal and our profession--all this to compliment you,Barry, on this occasion.
ReplyDeletePablo, let me wish you great success--yes, it is a challenge because R&D in mineral engineering is going through metamorphism and interdisciplinary.
Wish the Team of M.E. all the best.
Many thanks TC, and to all who submitted their kind comments. There are more comments on Minerals Engineers on LinkedIn
