Journal of The Fluorescent Mineral Society

The Journal is a technical publication that presents original research on selected aspects of luminescence in minerals.

The Journal of the Fluorescent Mineral Society is published annually or biennially by the Fluorescent Mineral Society. The Journal contains original articles dealing with all aspects of the luminescence (fluorescence, phosphorescence/afterglow, triboluminescence, thermoluminescence, and related topics) in minerals including mineralogy, geology, mechanisms of luminescence, and technologies for generating luminescence. In general, the Journal publishes original research contributions, and
occasional timely review articles. Authors are invited to contact the editor about proposed contributions. The editor also solicits information on published articles of particular interest to our membership for possible reprinting in the Journal. Articles submitted to the Journal undergo peer review and once accepted are generally published in the next issue.

If you are an author interested in submitting your contribution, please read the guidelines for authors. If you have any question, please contact the editor.

The FMS provides this publication as a benefit of membership. Electronic downloads of volumes 35 to 39 are available for FMS members on this page. For paper copies or older volumes, please contact us.
