Oil Shale[1] is a scientific-technical journal published in Estonia and distributed internationally. It is the only journal in the world with oil shale as its main subject.[2][3] The journal covers geology, mining, formation, composition, methods of processing, combustion, economics and environmental protection related to oil shale.[3] It is indexed in the Science Citation Index.[2]

History

The plan for publishing an oil shale journal arose in 1983 in the Estonian Academy of Sciences and the journal was founded in 1984 as the journal of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the Estonian Academy of Sciences. Publishing was financed by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and administered by the Institute of Chemistry of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. It was published by the publishing house Perioodika in Tallinn.[2]

At first, the journal was published in Russian under the name Горючие Сланцы (translit. Goryutchie Slantsy).[2][4] However, there was the permission from Soviet authorities to use the English-written subtitle Oil Shale and to add English summaries to Russian papers. The first editor in chief was academician Ilmar Öpik. The financing of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR ended in the beginning of 1990s after Estonia regained independence. As of result, the new editorial board was selected, which decided to reform the journal into an international English-language journal.[5] The publishing was mainly sponsored by oil shale companies and private persons.[2]

In 1994, the journal was indexed in ISI products and since then published by the Estonian Academy Publishers.[2][6] Since 1998, the publishing is financed from the Estonia's state budget.[2]

Publishing

The journal is published quarterly. The editor in chief is academician Anto Raukas.[5] The editorial board consists of 26 members from eight countries, including Estonia, Russia, China and the United States.
