About the Journal

Aims and Scope
The Journal of Civil Engineering, Science and Technology (JCEST, e-ISSN: 2462-1382) is a biannual (April and September), open-access, and peer-reviewed electronic journal published by the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Publisher (UNIMAS Publisher). It is 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 areas of civil engineering. It nurtures, therefore, the exchange of discoveries among research workforces worldwide, including those focusing on the wide variety of facets of the fundamentals and applications within the civil engineering arena. JCEST has a unique niche that spans the fields of technical engineering and its wider socio-human aspects. The journal also discusses how infrastructure influences socio-economic processes, community health and well-being, and human behavior. The target readership of JCEST includes academics, researchers, and practicing engineers in the global civil engineering community. 

To offer novel and rapid developments, JCEST encourages original contributions covering theoretical, experimental, and/or fieldwork that stimulate new understandings while elevating advancement in the civil engineering fields. Studies that bridge the gap between theory and application, which are beneficial to both academics and practicing engineers, are particularly of interest to JCEST. The journal welcomes manuscripts with forward-looking manuscripts that explore new frontiers and navigate new areas 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
