American Mineralogist is the peer-reviewed journal of the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA), a non-profit association. It publishes original scientific research in the general fields of mineralogy, crystallography, geochemistry, and petrology.
Articles appearing in American Mineralogist are abstracted in Chemical Abstracts, the Science Citation Index, GeoRef and INSPEC.
The journal was founded 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 formed, and American Mineralogist became the society's journal.[1]
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 Mineralogical Society of Canada.
