Winding down for the big holiday

Apologies to authors who have submitted papers to Minerals Engineering, there will be some considerable delay before we can send them off to referees.

I am about to leave for Cambridge and the IOM3 Mine to Market conference, which starts tomorrow, and when I return the Christmas and New Year holiday will effectively have started.

So authors, I must crave your indulgence and ask for your patience for a few weeks. I can assure you that both Pablo and I will knuckle down and clear any backlog around mid-January.

Let me take this opportunity of wishing you all very happy holidays and best wishes for 2016.
