On February 15, 2022, the journal "Coal Geology & Exploration", which is in charge of China Coal Technology and Engineering Group Co., and sponsored by CCTEG Xi'an Research Institute was included in the Ei Compendex database. After 18 years, it has been included in the Ei Compendex database again, which shows that "Coal Geology & Exploration" is moving towards a high-level international academic journal. This also means that the journal has been recognized by the international academic and publishing circles in terms of academic research level, journal publication quality, and standardization.
Ei Compendex, the American Engineering Index Ei database, is the most extensive and complete engineering literature database in the world. It covers more than 20 million records of peer-reviewed and indexed publications in 190 engineering disciplines in 77 countries around the world. By using Ei Compendex, engineers can obtain complete, accurate, high-quality information. "Coal Geology & Exploration" was founded in 1973. It is a comprehensive scientific and technological journal publication with the longest history and the most influence in the field of coal geology. "Coal Geology & Exploration" is included in Ei Compendex, Dutch "Scopus" and "China Science Citation Database (CSCD)". The journal is also a Chinese Core Journal, a Chinese core journal of science and technology, and a source journal for statistics and analysis of Chinese scientific papers. It has been edited into "China Journal Network", "China Academic Journals (CD Version)", "Wanfang Data-Digital Periodical Group", "Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database" and "Chinese Electronic Journal Service", which are full-text online journals. According to the 2021 China Science Citation Database Evaluation Report, the journal impact factor has risen to the fourth place in the mining engineering category.
The progress of "Coalfield Geology and Exploration" is inseparable from the hard work of experts, the continuous writing of authors and the love of readers. The journal will continue to play the role of the window of scientific and technological journals, display high-level research results of coal geological support technology, support the growth of outstanding academic talents in the industry, and make greater contributions to the high-quality development of coal.
