Aims and scope

Aims:

Innovative Infrastructure Solutions aims to publish innovative research in the area of sustainable infrastructure. Special emphasis is placed on promoting research that contributes to the advancement of infrastructure systems in developing countries to mitigate and/or adapt to climate change.

The journal accepts Research papers, Technical notes, and Review articles, however there should be a clear and significant potential for practical applications. Practice-oriented papers and case studies are particularly welcomed. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the editors place emphasis on the quality and originality of the work.

Editorial Policy:

Innovative Infrastructure Solutions is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) the journal follows the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential acts of misconduct. Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage the trust in the journal and ultimately the entire scientific endeavour. Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation can be achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice as detailed here: https://www.springer.com/us/editorial-policies.
