Innovations, developments, and advancements in the civil engineering industry are primarily driven by research. Researches from scholars in different academic institutions, research institutes, and the industry are subjected to rigorous peer review before they are accepted and published in high ranking reputable journals. They are usually published as open access or closed access (standard subscription) journals.
Open access journals are journals that are publicly accessible to anyone. At Structville Integrated Services, we are interested in advancing civil engineering knowledge, and keeping civil engineers abreast of the latest industry standards, developments, and discoveries. Therefore, we have compiled a list of open access research articles by reputable journals for the month of January 2021. The list is not exhaustive and can never be. However, you can visit the website of the journals listed for more articles.
