Author Guidelines

Advances in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Architecture is published biannually, in March and September, by the Institute of Research and Community Outreach, Petra Christian University, Surabaya, Indonesia.

Advances in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Architecture presents discourses on the built environment from multiple perspectives in various design-related disciplines: civil engineering, architecture, interior design, spatial design, and other relevant fields. Authors are invited to submit full papers comprising original research articles, case studies, technical reports, or review articles.

Authors are invited to submit articles that address the questions of built environment in a wide range of sustainability context, which may include but not limited to:

Civil Engineering:

  • Contemporary building construction
  • Indigenous building structure
  • Historic building structure
  • Construction technology
  • Management construction
  • Experimentation and simulation in building structure
  • Material engineering
Architecture:
  • Building and spatial design
  • Material and building resources
  • Sustainable urban development and urban design
  • Indigenous settlements
  • Vernacular architecture
  • Building service
  • Culture in architecture
  • Digital design and manufacture
  • BIM and parametric design and computational design methods
  • Education and pedagogical
  • Experimentation and simulation on sustainable built environment
  • Life cycle analysis
  • Settlement and community

The journal also offers an open forum for discussing diverse aspects of localities that engage with issues of the built environment within specific socio-cultural contexts. This encourages the exploration of unique ideas in building design and construction that may originate from these contextz and potentially extend beyond them. Submission in the form of book and project reviews are also welcomed; these are intended to challenge and expand upon existing ideas of the built environment.

Submission and Correspondence

Publication Charges

Advances in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Architecture does NOT apply any Article Processing Charges (APC) as Article Submission Charges.

Open Access and Publication Charges

Advances in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Architecture (ISSN:2716-0809) is an Open Access Journal, which is free to access and read on the internet.

Language

The journal accepts the manuscript in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. The abstract should be written in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. However, the main body of the manuscript can be written in either English or Bahasa Indonesia. Author should ensure that the manuscript is written in formal language with a good structure. For manuscript written in English, authors who feel that their manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical errors and to conform to correct scientific English standards may wish to utilize the English Language Editing service.

Style

Manuscripts should be organized in the following order: Title; authors and affiliations; abstract and key words; main body of paper; acknowledgment (where applicable); references; appendices (where applicable). 

Abstract

Abstract should not exceed 150 words. The abstract should briefly state the state-of-the art, research gap, purpose of the research, methods, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. Therefore, it may become a useful document in an information-retrieval system. Three to ten key words should be included.

Units

SI units must be used throughout in the manuscript. If other units must be used, equivalent SI units shall follow in parentheses. No rigid rules concerning notation or abbreviation need to be observed, but each manuscript should be self-contained as to symbols and units, which should be properly defined. 

Figures and Tables

Photographs, charts, illustrations and diagrams are to be referred to as "Figure(s)". All figures and tables should be placed within the text and identified with consecutive Arabic (not Roman) number in the order they are referred (separate numbers for tables and figures). All lettering, lines and symbols must be of uniform size and cropped to remove irrelevant information. It is better to use several simple tables than one large, complex table. All figures should be clear and suitable for reduction (up to 50% original size). Lettering must be clear and must be large enough to be reduced by the same proportion. All tables and figures must be accompanied by a self-explanatory caption.

Mathematical Expressions

Mathematical symbols and formulae should be typed. Particular care should be exercised in identifying all symbols and in avoiding ambiguities. Distinction should be made between the number one (1) and the letter I, or i and between the number zero (0) and the letter o. Equations must be numbered consecutively. Equation numbers should appear in parentheses. All equation number must appear on the right-hand side of the equation and should be referred to within the text. Use following sequence of parenthesis; )] }.

References and Use of Reference Management Software

Increased discoverability of research and high-quality peer review are ensured by online links to the sources cited. In order to allow us to create links to abstracting and indexing services, please ensure that data provided in the references are correct. Please note that incorrect surnames, journal/book titles, publication year and pagination may prevent link creation.

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

Authors should use reference management software, such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote, for citations and for preparing the reference list. If no template is yet available for this journal, please follow the format of the sample references and citations as shown in this Guide.

References to published literatures should be quoted in the text in numerical order. Numerical citation should be typed on the line, not as a superscript, and enclosed in square bracket, [1]. The references should be listed together at the end of the text in consecutive order, with enough information to allow readers to find the cited item. Use of DOI is highly encouraged.
