Journal overview

The editorial policy of Engineers Australia’s Civil Engineering College seeks to widen the usefulness of the Australian Journal of Civil Engineering (AJCE) by encouraging the publication of a greater variety of contributions to the science and practice of civil engineering.

Contributions of original papers on research, development and professional achievements in all areas of civil engineering are encouraged. Areas catered for in this journal include transportation; construction; water engineering; coastal and oceans; ports and harbours; geotechnical engineering; tunnelling; mining engineering; infrastructure and building; management and leadership; risk and reliability; planning and policy; heritage sustainability; and life cycle asset management.

The expected length of acceptable contributions will vary considerably, but 4000 to 5000 word equivalents should be the norm. Occasionally, shorter contributions of about 1000 words may be appropriate for publication as a Technical Note.

Authors are also invited to submit Discussions on a Technical Paper or Note published in the AJCE. Discussion of a Technical Paper/Note is open to anyone who has significant comments or questions regarding its content. All discussions are to be in third person, with the discusser being referred to as “the writer” and the author of the original paper as “the author”.

The fundamental criteria of acceptance for all types of papers will be the intellectual and professional worth of the contribution.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
