PUBLISHING IN ASCE JOURNALS – 1 – Rev. 10/2014 ABOUT ASCE JOURNALS A core mission of ASCE has always been to share information critical to civil engineers. In 1867, then ASCE President James P. Kirkwood addressed the membership regarding the importance of sharing information as the organization’s members spread far outside the boundaries of New York City. “Here, because we are so widespread,… we shall find it more needful to create this other tie, and to maintain it by a regular distribution of so much of the proceedings of the general meetings as will be readable and valuable to the absent members.”—James P. Kirkwood Volume 1 of the Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers was published in 1872 and contains technical papers read to the assembled members of the Society at various meetings. These papers explored new techniques, materials, and best practices. Kirkwood spoke of the importance of documenting and sharing the failures in order to improve the practice. By 1956, the members of the Society had grown and subdisciplines had emerged as divisions. The Transactions were now split into the journals of the original divisions. Today, as in 1867, the journals of ASCE are the media through which civil engineers exchange technical and professional knowledge. Information published in the journals is the archival record of the technical advances of the profession. ASCE publishes 34 journals across many civil engineering disciplines. Authors are ASCE members and non-members alike. The community surrounding each journal is international and multidisciplinary. Responsibility for reviewing manuscripts submitted to ASCE for publication rests with the editors and editorial boards of each journal. The Executive Committee or Publications Committee of each division, council, and institute is responsible for the contents of their journals. ASCE LIBRARY The ASCE Library is the online home of journals, conference proceedings, ebooks, and standards. All ASCE journals are available online with full text going back to 1983. ASCE journal content is highly discoverable and indexed in all the major services, including Google Scholar, Elsevier (Scopus and Engineering Village), Thomson Reuters (ISI, Web of Science, SCI), ProQuest, Civil Engineering Database, TRID, and EBSCO to maximize the discovery of author works. Information about each journal, such as the Aims and Scope, Editorial Board, Submission links, etc., can be found on the home page of each journal at ascelibrary.org.

PUBLISHING IN ASCE JOURNALS – 2 – Rev. 10/2014 GUIDELINES FOR PUBLICATION To be acceptable for publication, a manuscript must:  Be of value and interest to civil engineers.  Be an original review of past practice, present information, or probe new fields of civil engineering activity.  Contribute to the planning, analysis, design, construction, management, or maintenance of civil engineering works.  Contribute to the advancement of the profession by using the journals as a forum for the exchange of experiences by engineers.  Include a practical applications section whenever possible; theoretical manuscripts should indicate areas of additional research to implement technology transfer.  Be free of evident commercialism or private interest, but must not obscure proper names when they are required for an understanding of the subject matter.  Be free of personalities, either complimentary or derogatory.  Not be readily available elsewhere—it should not have been published previously by ASCE (including a proceeding) or other professional or technical societies, federal agencies, or commercial publishers.  Be clear and transparent on authorship; ASCE will not review or publish any manuscripts whose authorship is in dispute.  Be consistent with the purpose of the Society and not contain purely speculative matter, although it can use scientific evidence to challenge current concepts or propose new ideas that will encourage progress and discussion. TYPES OF JOURNAL CONTENT Technical Papers — Technical papers are full-length manuscripts of value and interest to civil engineers. They must be original reviews of past practice, present information of current interest, or probe new fields of civil engineering activity. They should report results of thought-provoking studies that contrib- ute to the planning, analysis, design, construction, management, or maintenance of civil engineering works. Technical papers should include a practical applications section whenever possible; theoretical manuscripts should indicate areas of additional research to implement technology transfer. Practical papers are strongly encouraged. Technical papers must have fewer than 10,000 words or word- equivalents. Technical Notes — Technical notes present (1) original, practical information; (2) preliminary or partial results of research; (3) concisely presented research results; and (4) innovative techniques to accomplish design objectives. Technical notes should be no more than 3,500 words or word-equivalents. Case Studies — uploads/Geographie/ asce-authors-guide.pdf
