The Japan Society of Civil Engineers produces the Journal of JSCE to provide access to rigorously refereed innovative research and practical papers across the fields of civil engineering.
The Society has been publishing domestic journals since 1944. Papers published in the journals mainly uses the Japanese language for the main body, but all papers include their English titles and abstracts. To increase the international appeal of the journals, the Society decided to launch the International Journal (Journal of JSCE), the first of which was published in 2013 as an online Journal. Theoretical and practical contributions to the fields of civil engineering are all welcome. Should you consider submitting your papers, please refer to the following descriptions in the divisions to select an appropriate field for review.
Papers should be original, demonstrate quality and knowledge of the existing literature, and be of interest to the readership. They must not be submitted for publication elsewhere during the time they are being reviewed for a Journal of JSCE. We publish the following types of papers from the international civil engineering community:
In addition, selected papers from the domestic Journal in Japanese are published in the Journal as translated copies into English.
Journal of JSCE covers major disciplines of civil engineering and includes the following seven divisions:
Division A (A1: Structural Engineering & Earthquake Engineering, A2: Applied Mechanics) |
Applied mechanics(A2), Structural engineering(A1), Steel structures(A1), Hybrid structures(A1), Earthquake engineering(A1), and Wind engineering(A1), except for Buildings |
Division B (B1: Hydraulic Engineering, B2: Coastal Engineering, B3: Ocean Engineering) |
Hydraulics (B1), Hydrology (B1), River engineering (B1), Water resources engineering (B1), Harbor engineering (B2), Coastal engineering (B2), Ocean engineering (B3), Ocean development (B3), Ecohydraulics (B1), and Environmental hydraulics (B1,B2,B3) |
Division C: Geotechnics |
Soil mechanics, Foundation engineering, Rock engineering, Engineering geology, and Geo-environmental engineering (Major topics should be related to geotechnical engineering) |
Division D (D1: Architecture of Infrastructure and Environment, D2: Historical Studies in Civil Engineering, D3: Infrastructure Planning and Management) |
Infrastructure planning, Regional/urban planning, Nationwide spatial planning, Transportation planning, Traffic engineering, Railway engineering, Landscape architecture/design, Infrastructure history, History of civil engineering, and Surveying |
Division E: (E1: Pavement Engineering, E2: Materials and Concrete Structures) |
Pavement engineering (E1), Materials in civil engineering (E1, E2),Concrete structures (E2), and Concrete engineering (E2) |
Division F: Construction Engineering and Management |
|
Division G: Environmental Systems and Engineering |
Environmental planning and management, Environmental system, water supply and sewer systems, Solid waste, and Environmental conservation |
When you are ready, submit your manuscript to the most appropriate division using the online submission site.
