Acta Scientiarum Polonorum. Architectura (ASPA) is an international peer-reviewed, Open Access journal published by the Warsaw University of Life Science Press (Warsaw, Poland). ASPA aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum for researchers, designers, engineers and administration staff. The journal welcomes submissions from different fields of civil engineering and related topics. The current academic score of the journal is 20 points(journal list of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education). The journal is indexed in a number of data bases of scholary articles. Starting from 2023, the journal has moved to the continuous publication model on an annual basis. This means that a paper is published online as soon as it is ready, without waiting for other accepted manuscripts to be ready for publication. In this model, an open yearly issue builds up gradually - a paper is added to the online issue immediately after it is ready for publication, with the most recent articles appearing at the top of the issue section. The current issue is thus visible as "in progress" unless it will be completed. We close each issue in December. New papers will be added to the next open issue.
