1. JCEF is implementing new policies about the handling process, editing, and proofreading (click here).
2. We introduce a new system for immediate online publication (Online First). We ensure that all articles are accessible as soon as the production process is completed, without waiting for the entire volume publication.
3. In our pursuit of higher content quality, we encourage authors to submit manuscripts of intermediate length (5000-6000 words for original articles) that uphold clarity and conciseness.
4. JCEF has been conferred SINTA1 accreditation, the highest national accreditation, according to the official decree of the Director General of Research and Development, Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Republic of Indonesia (No. 10/C/C3/DT.05.00/2025, dated March 21st, 2025).
5. As of April 4th, 2025, JCEF has been officially indexed in Scopus. While it may take some time for the journal to appear in the Scopus database, this marks a significant milestone in our journey. Looking ahead, we aim to reach the top 25% of journals (Q1) in the Civil and Structural Engineering subject category, based on CiteScore metrics, by the end of 2026.
