Focus and Scope

MetaResource aims to publish ground-breaking researches made in the inter-fields of resources and emerging frontier technologies such as digital twinning, virtual reality, computational simulation, process simulation and metaverse. MetaResource is expected to promote the transformation and upgrading of the traditional resource industry to intelligent, unmanned direction.

Focal areas and topics of interest of the journal include, but are not limited to:

(1)   Intelligent manufacturing: the use of big data, artificial intelligence, information science, communication technology to lead intelligent manufacturing in minerals, resources, and environmental;

(2)   Computer simulation: using computer technology for molecular simulation, fluid simulation, dynamics simulation, engineering simulation in minerals, resources, and environmental;

(3)   Process control and optimization: relying on computer detection and simulation technology to achieve process simulation, control, and optimization in minerals, resources, and environmental;

(4)   (Virtual reality/Augmented reality (VR/AR): research on virtual reality based on big data, Internet of Things, digital twinning, virtual factory technology, etc., in minerals, resources, and environmental.
