PUBLICATION INFORMATION

Manuscript Types

The Journal of Infrastructural in Civil Engineering (JICE), published by Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia, welcomes original and critically informed scholarly contributions in civil engineering, infrastructure development, architectural engineering, and related fields. The journal emphasizes research that advances engineering knowledge and provides evidence relevant to the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and sustainability of infrastructure.

JICE primarily considers the three manuscript categories below. Each submission must demonstrate scholarly merit, methodological transparency, and a clear connection to the journal’s focus and scope.

Original Research Articles report new knowledge obtained through systematic, scientifically sound investigations addressing civil engineering and infrastructure challenges. Manuscripts must establish a clear research question or objective, use appropriate methods, and demonstrate a meaningful contribution to theory, engineering practice, or infrastructure performance.

Suitable approaches include laboratory experiments, field measurements and monitoring, analytical and numerical modeling, simulation, design optimization, and quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods investigations. The methodology, assumptions, data, and analytical procedures must be explained sufficiently to support critical evaluation of the findings.

Illustrative civil engineering topics

• Structural behavior, construction materials, bridge performance, and seismic or serviceability assessment.
• Soil and foundation behavior, slope stability, and geotechnical improvement methods.
• Hydrology, hydraulics, drainage, flood management, transportation systems, and pavement performance.
• Environmental infrastructure, building engineering, and construction engineering and management.

Case Study Articles examine identifiable real-world projects, infrastructure assets, construction processes, engineering failures, or operational challenges. A case study should provide a clear account of the engineering context, the problem being investigated, the evidence collected, and the methods used for analysis.

JICE welcomes case studies that assess the application, performance, limitations, or improvement of engineering designs, technologies, management practices, and infrastructure interventions. The contribution must extend beyond a project description by offering reasoned technical evaluation and insights relevant to comparable engineering situations.

Illustrative civil engineering topics

• Condition assessment and rehabilitation of bridges, buildings, roads, or other infrastructure assets.
• Foundation construction, ground improvement, slope stabilization, and site-specific geotechnical problems.
• Drainage and flood mitigation projects, water infrastructure performance, or environmental engineering interventions.
• Construction methods, quality management, project scheduling, cost performance, and safety management.

Literature Review Articles provide a structured, critical synthesis of existing research concerning a defined problem or developing area of civil engineering. Reviews should compare findings and methods, assess the strengths and limitations of available evidence, identify research gaps, and develop well-supported implications for future research or engineering practice.

JICE considers systematic, scoping, and other appropriately structured scholarly reviews when the review approach is suitable for the research question. Authors must explain the review scope and how literature was located, selected, evaluated, and synthesized; the level of methodological detail should be proportionate to the type of review.

Illustrative civil engineering topics

• Developments in low-carbon concrete, alternative construction materials, and structural resilience.
• Advances in numerical geotechnics, soil improvement, and infrastructure monitoring.
• Flood resilience, sustainable drainage, water management, and environmental infrastructure.
• Transportation safety, pavement sustainability, digital construction, and infrastructure asset management.

04. General Manuscript Requirements

All manuscripts submitted to JICE are expected to meet the following requirements:

• Language: Submit the manuscript in Indonesian or English.
• Originality: Submit original scholarly work that has not been published previously or simultaneously submitted to another journal.
• Relevance: Address topics within JICE’s Focus and Scope and demonstrate a clear contribution to civil engineering or infrastructure-related knowledge and practice.
• Manuscript preparation: Follow the official JICE manuscript template and the Author Guidelines.
• Length: Prepare a manuscript of 8–15 pages, in accordance with the journal’s current submission requirements.
• References: Use appropriate scholarly sources and follow the IEEE citation and reference style prescribed by JICE.
• Research and publication ethics: Comply with the journal’s authorship, originality, research ethics, and other applicable editorial policies.
• Editorial evaluation: All submissions undergo initial editorial screening and, when appropriate, peer review under the journal’s double-blind review policy. Author-identifying information should not appear in the files supplied to reviewers.

Other Scholarly Contributions

Conceptual analyses, engineering innovations, and evidence-based professional best practices may be considered within the manuscript categories above when they offer sufficient scholarly contribution. Authors proposing other formats, including article or book reviews mentioned in the journal’s Focus and Scope, should contact the editorial office before submission to confirm the appropriate category and requirements.

The editorial team reserves the right to assess a manuscript’s suitability for the journal and to determine whether it should proceed to peer review.
