About the Journal

We are proud to present the latest issue of the Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, now in its 44th year, with 39 volumes published. Two years ago, we recognized the need for the journal to evolve. Last year’s volume marked our first publication in English, and this year, we have continued to develop. We are pleased to announce that the journal is now indexed in the CrossRef database, and all papers in this volume have been assigned DOI numbers. This development is crucial for enhancing the visibility and scientific impact of both the journal and its authors. We also plan to retrospectively assign DOI numbers to all previous volumes, starting from the very first, thereby digitalizing all past issues to preserve and protect them.
Internationalization is a top priority for the Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture. As an initial step, we have strengthened the Editorial Board with experts from various countries. We plan to further reinforce the Board in the coming years. We expect the new website of the journal to be operational in time for submissions to the upcoming 40th jubilee volume. This new platform will streamline the submission, editing, and review processes, modernizing the journal. Additionally, we aim to apply for indexing in other significant databases.
We extend our gratitude to our authors for their continued support of the journal. This volume features 10 peer-reviewed papers from authors representing five countries: Italy, Poland, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. Our 20 reviewers hail from five countries: Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Croatia, and Serbia. Notably, 80% of our reviewers are external to the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Niš. We are deeply grateful for their contributions and look forward to their ongoing support. The list of reviewers is published at the end of the volume.
Finally, we invite researchers to consider our journal for disseminating their research, and we pledge to continue working on increasing the journal’s scientific impact.
