This paper is a review of the study on organic maturation which plays an important role in modern petroleum and coal geochemistry in the light of present-day knowledge. The review covers its basic conception, various measuring techniques of the maturation parameters, the importance of time-temperature relation in it, and its, relationship to the formation of authigenic minerals. Particularly, emphasis is placed on its significance as a powerful tool in the study of mineral facies in the diagenesis and metamorphism from the view point of that the maturation process of dispersed in soluble organic matter (kerogen) is irreversible and a first order reaction follows the Arrhenius equationon the basis of experimental, and geological observations. And it is suggested that the integration of the inorganic and organic processes into diagenesis and incipient metamorphism system will develop a new domain of discipline concerning so-called "metamorphism".
