About JCESTAims and ScopeThe Journal of Civil Engineering, Science and Technology (JCEST) is a biannual (April and September), open-access, and peer-reviewed electronic journal devoted to the dissemination and publication of original research articles, review articles, and short communications on up-to-date scientific and technological advances in various diverse areas of civil engineering. It nurtures, therefore, the exchange of discoveries among research workforces worldwide, including those focus on the wide variety of facets of the fundamentals and applications within the civil engineering arena. To offer novel and rapid developments, JCEST encourages original contributions covering theoretical, physical experimental, and/or field work that incite and promote new understandings while elevating advancement in the civil engineering fields. Works in closing the gap between theories and applications, which are beneficial to both academicians and practicing engineers, are particularly of interest to JCEST. The journal also welcomes manuscripts with prospective features that pave the intellectual route to navigate new areas and frontiers of scholarly studies in the following themes: Structural Engineering and Construction Materials Highway and Transportation Engineering Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Engineering Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering Environmental Engineering and Waste Management Construction Management and Building Services Disaster Mitigation and Resilient Infrastructure Digitalization and Automation in Civil Engineering Facilities Management and Asset Maintenance Sustainable Infrastructure and Green Technologies Urban Engineering and Smart Cities Types of ArticleOriginal Article, Review Article, Editorial Opinion, and Short Communication Quality Control MechanismThe journal practises a double-blind peer review process Publication FrequencyOne volume, two issues per year (April and September) Publication/Article Processing FeeFree Journal Title AbbreviationJ.
