SME Transactions has ceased publication as of the end of 2018. Your online subscription will cover the 2010-2018 volumes. (Each SME Transactions volume consists of three sections: up to 20 new papers on subjects ranging from mineralogy to mine safety, all of the peer-reviewed technical papers from the year's Mining Engineering , and all of the peer-reviewed content of the year's Minerals & Metallurgical Processing .)

SME Transactions was published as a hardbound book until 2010. To purchase older volumes, contact the SME bookstore at books@smenet.org . Many older volumes are still in stock.
