History

The journal was established in 1916, with the first issue appearing in July of that year, under the auspices of the Philadelphia Mineralogical Society, the New York Mineralogical Club, and the Mineral Collectors' Association. On December 30, 1919, the Mineralogical Society of America was formed and American Mineralogist became the society's journal.[2]

Abstracting and indexing

The American Mineralogist is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts, the Science Citation Index, GeoRef, and INSPEC. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2011 impact factor of 2.100.[3]

Crystallographic database

A database, the American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database, of all crystal structures published in American Mineralogist, Canadian Mineralogist, and the European Journal of Mineralogy is maintained and hosted at the University of Arizona with the Mineralogical Society of America, and the Mineralogical Society of Canada.
