ABSTRACT
This article presents the analysis of Ukrainian mining sciences journal – “Mining of Mineral Deposits” (English
acronym – MMD). Our paper presents a case study of a journal in the field of mining sciences and describes the first
year of implementing a new concept of the journal. The results can serve as a reference in future studies of the jour-
nal in a new form. The findings of future research may be an indication as to whether the adopted policy of interna-
tionalization of the journal is effective and increases the impact of the Journal in World Science. Special considera-
tion is given to website visitors activity and visits frequency statistics. It appears that MMD is improving its position
within the group of leading and original Ukrainian mining periodicals.
Keywords: journal, concept, Mining of Mineral Deposits, publication, analysis
1. INTRODUCTION
We are happy to present you the first issue of the
quarterly journal “Mining of Mineral Deposits” (Vol-
ume 11, Issue 1), which is published by the National
Mining University of Ukraine. “Mining of Mineral
Deposits”, issued since 2013, is continuation of the
annual scientific and technical collections “School of
Underground Mining” issued since 2007. Over this
period, the journal has continually increased its stand-
ards and currently has some of the most rigorous expec-
tations for paper quality and impact representing scien-
tific results from the domestic and foreign experience of
innovative technologies developed for minerals mining.
It also encompasses the results of scientific studies
related to the economic condition of various countries
with significant mining infrastructure.
This article is continuation of the paper published last
year (Bondarenko, Lozynskyi, Kovalevska, Sai, &
Vvedenska, 2016) that describes a strategy of the MMD
journal. Here we will try to discuss the key issues of self-
analysis, self-development, our aims and visions.
2. UKRAINIAN MINING JOURNALS
The last century saw a dramatic growth of coal pro-
duction capacity, while its quality, power and realiability
of equipment have steadily improved. Mining is an inte-
gral part of Ukrainian and world economy. That is why
during this period a large number of mining journals
were founded around the world.
Currently there are about 30 Ukrainian domestic
journals in the field of mining sciences (Table 1). They
are primarily published by Ukrainian mining institutions
such as technical universities, research institutes, and
other specialized publishing houses. These journals are
not indexed in the Web of Sciences Core Collection
(WoS) or, with one exception (Scientific Bulletin of the
National Mining University / Naukovyi Visnyk Natsio-
nalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu) in Scopus.
Twenty-nine Ukrainian journals of local significance
are not widely read by mining engineers and scientists of
established mining reputation. Therefore, it is obvious
that Ukrainian mining journals are not fully presented in
the international scientific community.

analysing applied investigations and the results of fun-
damental research that make the base for new technical
developments. The present journal is addressed to mining
engineers, scientific and research personnel, students,
postgraduates and all professionals connected with the

4. RESULTS OF JOURNAL REFORMATTING
4.1. Brief self-analysis of the journal reformatting
“Mining of Mineral Deposits” is multi-language jour-
nal. The authors can publish their articles in English,
Ukrainian and Russian language. English language ab-
stract is mandatory for each article. The accuracy of
English language articles and abstract in English is moni-
tored and checked by our Foreign Language Editor.
In 2016, the editors adopted a new development strat-
egy aimed at introducing the journal of “Mining of Min-
eral Deposits” to the international community of science.
It increases international recognition of the journal,
which follows the main aim of the implemented strategy.
The biggest changes concerned the layout, form of
publishing, as well as beginning cooperation with foreign
editors and reviewers. We have designed a template for
each page in A4 format layout which includes the follow-
ing information:
– the title page includes the paper title, the author(s)
name, affiliation (department, organization, city, coun-
try), the corresponding author info (e-mail, phone num-
ber, fax number);
– DOI (Digital Object Identifier) under CrossRef;
– UDC (The Universal Decimal Classification);
– the paper text includes: the title of the abstract
which states the purpose of the study, methods, main
findings, practical implications, originality and is fol-
lowed by keywords;
– in the introduction, the author/s gives/: state of the
art; a short analysis of the recent research and publica-
tions and unsolved aspects of the problem;
– results and discussion;
– acknowledgement (information on the source of
funding for the presented piece of research);
– references list drawn up in accordance with the
rules of the APA name-date method;
– article info: information concerning the date when
the text was received, revised and published online;
– details concerning the author(s) – such as the last,
first and middle name, scientific degree, position, affili-
ations, e.g. department, institution, city and coun-
try / postal code.
4.2. Cooperation with editors and reviewers
To introduce the quarterly journal to the international
scientific community in 2016, we have started coopera-
tion with a number of overseas editors and reviewers. The
Editorial Board comprises 36 members (Ukraine – 15;
Poland – 6; South Africa and USA – 2 each; Australia,
Austria, China, Croatia, Iran, Germania, Kazakhstan,
Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Taiwan – 1 each). Cooper-
ation involves leading and reputable scientists and practi-
cal specialists in the mining field. Foreign specialists also
participate in the work of Editorial Board. It provides an
excellent expertise for the articles to be published.
The total number of reviewers is 45 (Ukraine – 17; Ka-
zakhstan – 4; Poland – 4; China – 3; Czech Republic – 2;
Germany – 2; USA – South Africa – 2; Austria – 1; Cana-
da – 1; United Kingdom – 1; Greece – 1; Netherlands – 1;
Norway – 1; Romania – 1). Cooperation with foreign
reviewers turned a really new experience for us, but we
have managed to collect an extensive number of reviewers
from different countries around the world (Fig. 1, 2).

4.3. Journal website
Since 2016, we have launched an online English lan-
guage version of the journal. Papers are published on the
website of the journal (http://mining.in.ua) on March 30,
June 30, September 30 and December 30. This publishing
action guarantees that the papers of the journal are rele-
vant and seen by the scientific community immediately.
The online version is described as the original (refer-
ence) version of the journal. The journal is supported by
Ukrainian School of Underground Mining, thus we pro-
vide open access to every issue. We strongly believe that
the open access will increase its visibility and influence.
In 2016, we also added the papers published in the previ-
ous journals to the archive.
Since 20 March 2016, we have been monitoring the
website statistics for http://mining.in.ua. Users from 98
different countries have visited this site since this date.
Approximately 26.4% of the traffic on the website of the
quarterly journals comes from Ukraine. Other users were
mainly from the USA – 15.3%; Norway – 8.2%; Germany –
7.3% and the United Kingdom – 2.9%. Detailed statistics
of the top country visitors are presented in Figures 3, 4.

Unique users are a common way of measuring the
popularity of a website. Unique visitors refer to the num-
ber of distinct individuals requesting pages from the
website during a given period, regardless of how often
they visit. Visits refer to the number of times the site is
visited, no matter how many visitors make those visits.
The final map of unique visitors with the average number
of unique visits is presented in Figure 4.

For most of the visits to the website, the link used is
the direct DOI. In addition, we observed a number of hits
from the Google Scholar, the main website of the De-
partment of Underground Mining of National Mining
University http://prr.nmu.org.ua, and the Internet brows-
er. MMD journal website has been viewed 81360 times
by 8064 visitors. The average number of hits that have
been viewed by one visitor is ≈ 10. More statistics are
presented in Table 2.
During the last four months, we have observed ap-
proximately the same quantity of unique visitors from
USA, Ukraine and Germany (Fig. 5). The diagram of the
total number of unique visitors and hits on day-by-day
breakdown is presented in Figure 6.

Received information about journal website analysis
give us possibility to see strengths and weaknesses of the
website. We realize that high level of journal website
will significantly reinforce the importance and magnitude
of the journal, allowing it to rise to a new level of quality
and ensure spreading of scientific information to the
target audience.

4.4. Geography of publications
As for international collaboration (the publications
that have been made by researchers from several coun-
tries), we published ten papers, so indicators of interna-
tional collaboration make up 18% (Fig. 7).More than a
quarter of the publications (27%) were created as a result
of cooperation between at least two authors from differ-
ent organizations.
Last year we have received publications predominant-
ly from Ukraine (most of them from the National Mining
University – 43%). The authors from Kazakhstan, Aus-
tralia, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa and Mon-
golia also delegated their papers to MMD journal. In the
future, we would like to receive more papers written by
authors from abroad.
Recently we created “MMD Journal Geo” using
Google Maps service. Using this map, the authors have
an opportunity to find information about geography of
publications.
4.5. Citing and Citation
Every article in the journal is considered to be the
primary research. There were no non-citable documents
in the last year. The number of references included in the
articles published by the journal in 2016 is – 640. The
average number of references per documents is – 11.8. In
our journal, we do not limit the number of references, so
the authors should not ignore the most promising litera-
ture in their relevant field.

At the National Mining University, we do not have an
access to Scopus and Web of Science database, so we
cannot make a bibliometric analysis (citation indexes),
but we hope that due to implementing the strategy of the
MMD journal the number of journal citations will in-
crease from year to year.
Speaking about citation analysis, our search was con-
ducted in March 2016 using Google Scholar tool. The
search was conducted by the author name using the “Au-
thor Search” feature and, after the results were displayed,
the paper was added to the final list. This strategy enabled
maximum accuracy in finding paper published in the
journal. According to the Google Scholar, 7 publications
published in 2016 were cited in 2016 (“Scientific Bulletin
of the National Mining University” – 3 citations; “Ph.D.
dissertation” – 2 citations and by one’s citation in the
“Scientific Bulletin of Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” and
Polish journal “Budownictwo Gorniche i Tunelowe”).
4.6. Integration of Mining of Mineral Deposits
into Information Resources
There are several steps of a journal integration into
information resources. According to a new concept of the
journal “Mining of Mineral Deposits”, the number of
published papers in English will increase from year to
year. In 2016 – nineteen publications were published in
English (Fig. 8). It is a very important step on the way to
international integration.
Figure 8. Languages of publication
The second step is wide registering, abstracting
and indexing (RAI) of the journal in all possible ad-
vanced databases. The current situation of RAI is pre-
sented in Table 3.
