Civil Engineering
Ingeniería Civil is a technical-scientific journal edited by CEDEX, and specialised in the following fields of activity directly related to civil and environmental engineering: Water, Structures and Materials, Ports and Coasts, Transport and Mobility, Roads, Sustainability, Ecological Transition, Geotechnics, Railway Interoperability, Historical Heritage of Public Works, Circular Economy, and Knowledge Transfer. It is also part of the Editorial Programme of CEDEX, which operates as a publishing unit of the Editorial Programme of the Ministry for Transports, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA), which is in turn part of the General Publication Plan of the General State Administration (AGE).
The main purpose of Ingeniería Civil is to serve as a vehicle for the diffusion of technical and scientific knowledge among the scientific and professional community concerned with the aforementioned fields of activity.
The current editorial line dates back to the end of 1986, being the result of the unification of the two former CEDEX journals, the Boletín Bibliográfico de Ingeniería Civil, and the Boletín del Laboratorio de Carreteras y Geotecnia (formerly, Boletín de Información del Laboratorio del Transporte de Mecánica del Suelo). In 2017 Ingeniería Civil celebrated its 30th anniversary and, in order to move with the times, it proceeded to its modernisation by developing new technological capabilities, and with the aim to continue to be a benchmark in the fields of civil and environmental engineering.
Each issue of the journal includes between 7 and 10 unpublished technical articles, of a high scientific level, on one of the subjects covered by the journal. In addition, other sections, not fixed and in other formats, include collaborations of a different nature linked to the world of civil engineering. These sections also include information on events, exhibitions, CEDEX editions, etc.
In the current context of the digital era, as it could not be otherwise, Ingeniería Civil has been digitised with the implementation and development of a specific content manager for scientific journals called Open Journal System, a free software developed by the University of Canada that constitutes a complete guide for the edition of online publications. As a result, articles can be viewed in HTML/XML and can also be downloaded in PDF, just as they appear in the paper publication.
Ingeniería Civil is, above all, the channel for disseminating the technological innovation promoted by CEDEX through articles by its own technicians. At the same time, the journal's pages are open to external contributions, with no other limitations than those of being original and high technical quality. Along these lines, articles have been published in recent years by Spanish engineering companies and multinationals working on and leading major infrastructure projects worldwide.
