Aims and Scope
American Mineralogist: Journal of Earth and Planetary Materials (Am Min), is the flagship journal of the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA), continuously published since 1916. Am Min is home to some of the most important advances in the Earth Sciences. Our mission is a continuance of this heritage: to provide readers with reports on original scientific research, both fundamental and applied, with far reaching implications and far ranging appeal. Topics of interest cover all aspects of planetary evolution, and biological and atmospheric processes mediated by solid-state phenomena. These include, but are not limited to, mineralogy and crystallography, high- and low-temperature geochemistry, petrology, geofluids, bio-geochemistry, bio-mineralogy, synthetic materials of relevance to the Earth and planetary sciences, and breakthroughs in analytical methods of any of the aforementioned.

Hello? It has been 239 days so far, and the status is still "Potential Reviewers Assigned" (from 2022-07-08 till now). Two months ago, the associate editor did not reply, so I emailed the editor-in-chief, who responded and said they would process it as soon as possible. However, the status has not changed so far. I am about to graduate and want to use this for job applications, but I have lost hope and dare not withdraw the manuscript. I just hope that one day it will be accepted. Although it is in the 3rd tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is considered a top journal in the field of mineralogy with high recognition. It would take about half a year to change the submission, so I can only wait. My junior brother got accepted in just over three months before!

Hello? Yes, my supervisor said that it seems like the previous associate editor is no longer in the position and has been replaced with someone new. After 306 days, the status has changed to "All Reviewers Assigned" recently. It is about trace amounts of electrical stone and boron isotope articles. A few days ago, I also submitted an article on apatite. My supervisor said it suits the taste of AM (possibly referring to a specific journal or conference), so I can only endure and wish myself good luck!
