The Journal of Sustainable Materials and Structures is dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and practical applications in sustainable materials science, structural engineering, and construction. The journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, engineers, architects, academics, industry professionals, and policymakers to share innovative solutions that improve environmental performance, resource efficiency, durability, and structural sustainability. It welcomes research addressing the development of environmentally responsible materials and structural systems while considering their technical performance and long-term impacts. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the journal aims to support the transition toward more efficient, resilient, low-carbon, and sustainable approaches to construction and infrastructure development.

The journal welcomes research covering a broad range of topics, including bio-based, recycled, renewable, low-carbon, and advanced sustainable materials for construction and structural applications. It encourages studies on sustainable structural design, analysis, construction methods, durability, resilience, and service-life performance. Research involving life-cycle assessment, environmental impact evaluation, resource conservation, energy efficiency, and sustainable building practices is particularly relevant. The journal also welcomes studies addressing construction waste reduction, recycling, material recovery, circular economy principles, and the development of structures capable of responding to climate-related and other environmental challenges. Innovative material technologies and sustainable construction techniques are strongly encouraged.

The Journal of Sustainable Materials and Structures places particular emphasis on emerging technologies that support sustainable design, construction, and infrastructure management. Research involving Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital technologies, computational tools, smart materials, and data-driven approaches for improving environmental and structural performance is welcomed. The journal accepts original research articles, review papers, case studies, conceptual studies, and perspectives offering significant theoretical, methodological, practical, technological, or policy contributions. By connecting advances in materials science with structural engineering and sustainability, the journal seeks to promote durable, resource-efficient, environmentally responsible solutions and contribute to the development of a more resilient and sustainable built environment.

Publication Model

The Journal of Sustainable Engineering Materials and Structures follows a Continuous Publication Model designed to facilitate the timely dissemination of high-quality research in sustainable engineering materials, structural engineering, and related interdisciplinary fields. Under this model, articles are published individually as soon as they successfully complete the peer-review, editorial evaluation, revision, and production processes, without waiting for a scheduled monthly, quarterly, or annual issue. All articles published during a calendar year are organized within a designated volume. Each article receives a permanent publication date, DOI, volume assignment, and complete bibliographic information to support accurate citation, indexing, discoverability, and long-term accessibility. Depending on the journal’s publishing system, articles may be assigned unique article numbers or conventional page numbers.

The journal welcomes interdisciplinary research covering sustainable construction materials, advanced engineering materials, concrete and cementitious materials, recycled and waste-derived materials, green building technologies, structural engineering, structural performance and durability, materials characterization, low-carbon construction, circular economy, life-cycle assessment, resilient structures, and innovative sustainable engineering solutions. The continuous publication model enables researchers, engineers, architects, material scientists, industry professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders to access newly published research promptly. The journal maintains a transparent annual archive in which all published articles remain permanently accessible through the journal website. This approach also provides flexibility in managing publication volume while avoiding unnecessary delays associated with predefined issues.

Through continuous publication, the Journal of Sustainable Engineering Materials and Structures aims to promote efficient scholarly communication, accelerate the dissemination of innovative sustainable materials and structural technologies, and provide authors with a streamlined pathway from final acceptance to formal publication.
