Soils and Foundations

Soils and Foundations is a bi-monthly journal which specializes on the whole field of geotechnical engineering and related disciplines. This journal publishes research papers, reports of important engineering experiences, state-of-the-art reports on important themes, and discussions. 

Continuing efforts have been made by the editorial board members to maintain the high quality of the journal by reviewing manuscripts in careful and fair manner. A special attention has been focused therefore on the novelty and readers' benefit together with practical applicability if necessary. Further, the editorial board is happy to give instructions to authors of manuscripts which could improve their quality. 

One of the benefits to non-English-speaking authors is that the English in accepted manuscripts is improved by a specialist who is a native and professionally-educated English speaker. Good papers in this journal are entitled to apply for academic awards of the Japanese Geotechnical Society. The publication fee is free up to a specified number of pages. 

Soils and Foundations is abstracted and indexed in various services including Science Citation Index-Expanded; ISI Alerting Services; Current Contents/Engineering, Computing and Technology; International Civil Engineering Abstract; Earthquake Engineering Abstracts; NACSIS-IR and NACSIS-ELS.
