General Journal guidelines for authors:

FU Arch Civ Eng publishes research articles, reviews, case studies. Thematic/special issues include an editorial.

Research articles must contain an adequate overview of the representative work in the field including up-to-date references, clear statement of the novelty in the presented research, suitable theoretical background, one or more case studies to demonstrate and discuss the presented ideas and, finally, conclusions. Authors are requested to follow the Arch Civ Eng guidelines in preparing their manuscripts as well as use the article template that is available here.

If the authors provide a previously published conference submission, Editors will check the submission to determine whether there has been sufficient new material added to warrant publication in the Journal. The Arch Civ Eng require such submissions to contain a significant amount of new material, that is, material that has not been published elsewhere. New results are desired but not necessarily required; however, the submission should contain expansions of key ideas, examples, elaborations, etc. of the conference submission. The paper submitted to the journal should differ from the previously published material by at least 40 percent.

The ONLINE FIRST section of FU Arch Civ Eng lists the papers accepted for publication and copy edited but not yet assigned to an issue.
