Journal Guide

Our journals represent the highest standards of research and best-practice in civil engineering. ICE Proceedings form a unique interface between the worlds of theory and practice in civil engineering, and our other titles such as Geotechnique and Magazine of Concrete Research are internationally renowned for publishing research of the highest quality. Covering every major civil and structural engineering discipline, our journals are a comprehensive source of expertise for everyone in civil engineering.

Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems is devoted to the discussion, dissemination and development of systems techniques and their underlying assumptions through the spectrum of civil engineering activity and environmental decision-making and management. The Journal provides a comprehensive approach to the practical application and development of 'hard' and 'soft' systems methodologies and welcomes papers on engineering optimization, risk assessment and decision making, environmental policy and sustainable development, system identification, numerical simulation and qualitative modelling of complex systems, safety, and methods of modelling uncertainty. Attention is paid to conceptual issues as well as quantitative techniques. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

Civil Wars publishes original scholarship on all aspects of intrastate conflict, including its causes and nature, and the factors which help to explain its onset, duration, intensity, termination and recurrence. It also publishes work which explores the epistemology of scholarship on intrastate conflict and contributes to debates about the politics, sociology and economics of civil wars, and the significance of intrastate conflict for international relations.The journal has a broad intellectual remit designed to be multidisciplinary and open to a range of different academic methodologies and interests. It welcomes work on specific armed conflicts and micro-analysis, on broad patterns of civil wars, and on historical perspectives as well as contemporary challenges. It also seeks to explore the policy implications of conflict analysis, especially as it relates to international security, conflict prevention and resolution, intervention and peacebuilding.Civil Wars will be required reading for students and scholars of armed conflict and international relations, and, given its policy relevance, will be of interest to those in government, international organisations and the military.Peer ReviewAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
