Aims and scope
Discover Civil Engineering is a fully open access, peer-reviewed journal that supports multidisciplinary research and policy developments across the field of civil engineering. The journal aims to be a resource for researchers, policy makers and the general public for recent advances in civil engineering, and its uses in research development and society. As a fully open access journal, we ensure that our research is highly discoverable and instantly available globally to everyone. The journal particularly welcomes work that aims to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially Sustainable Cities and Communities; Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; and Responsible Consumption and Production.
