Journal of JSCE

Introduction

The Japan Society of Civil Engineers launches 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 Journal since 1944. Language used in papers published in the existing Journal is mainly Japanese, but some are written in the other languages, such as English, German. To increase the international appeal of the Journal, the Society decided to launch an International Journal and first issue will be published in 2013 as online Journal.

Paper categories

 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:

  •  Academic papers should include original scientific or technological accomplishments, or should be an original state-of-the-art review. Each paper should be self-complete.
  •  Technical reports are reports of investigation, planning, design, construction, and field measurement. They should be technologically valuable.
  •  Technical notes should be one of the followings: i) the material including new research or technological achievements even though they have not been completed, ii) new proposals and attempts or discussions against them, iii) supplements or corrections to published materials, or iv) experimental data, field data or new diagrams which are technologically valuable .
  •  Discussions will be accepted within six months after the objective article appeared on a Journal of JSCE.

In addition, selected papers from the domestic Journal in Japanese are published in the Journal as translated copies into English.
