Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering

Aims & Scope

The main scope of the journal is to publish original research articles in the wide field of civil engineering, including geodesy and surveying, construction materials and engineering geology, photogrammetry and geoinformatics, geotechnics, structural engineering, architectural engineering, structural mechanics, highway and railway engineering, hydraulic and water resources engineering, sanitary and environmental engineering, engineering optimisation and history of civil engineering.

The journal is abstracted by several international databases, see the main page.

The strict peer reviewing and editing process is very short, the publication may appear in average within 3-4 months in the journal’s “Online First” page after submission of the manuscript.

The journal is electronically published, and a few copies are printed and sent to main libraries in the world.

This is a diamond open access journal: publishing and downloading articles are both free of charge.

The journal does not charge authors any article processing charges (APCs), submission, or publication fees.

Users have the right to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of these articles.
