Civil engineering research addresses real infrastructure problems: stronger concrete, safer structures, better water management and smarter transport. IJVAST publishes civil and environmental engineering papers from students, scholars and practitioners.
Laboratory tests, site studies and software analyses are all welcome, provided the method is clear and results are compared with standards.
Civil Engineering topics we publish
- Concrete technology, alternative and waste materials.
- Structural analysis and design (STAAD, ETABS, SAP).
- Geotechnical engineering and soil stabilisation.
- Transportation, traffic studies and pavement design.
- Water resources, environmental engineering and GIS.
Tips for a strong civil manuscript
- Refer to the relevant IS codes or international standards.
- Give mix designs, sample counts and curing periods for lab work.
- Present results in tables and graphs against control samples.
- Discuss cost and practical feasibility.

What IJVAST does not claim
IJVAST is not listed in UGC-CARE, Scopus or Web of Science and does not have an impact factor. We would rather you know this before you submit than after. If your university, scholarship or promotion rule requires one of those listings specifically, check with your guide or department first. For coursework, project reports, conference-style publication, skill building, placement portfolios and an early publication record, a peer-reviewed open-access journal with an ISSN and Crossref DOIs is often exactly what students need.
Frequently asked questions
Is a case study of a local site acceptable?
Yes. Describe the site, data collection and analysis clearly.
How long does review take?
The editorial target is 48 hours from submission to a first decision. Papers needing major revision take longer because you have to revise and resubmit.
How much does it cost?
Rs 1,200 for Indian authors (18% GST included) or USD 25 for international authors, charged only after acceptance. There is no submission fee.
Is IJVAST UGC-CARE or Scopus listed?
No. IJVAST holds ISSN 2839-5379, assigns Crossref DOIs and publishes open access, but it is not listed in UGC-CARE, Scopus or Web of Science.
