Aims and Scope
Acta Geotechnica is an international journal devoted to the publication and dissemination of basic and applied research in geoengineering – an interdisciplinary field dealing with geomaterials such as soils and rocks. Coverage emphasizes the interplay between geomechanical models and their engineering applications. The journal presents original research papers on fundamental concepts in geomechanics and their novel applications in geoengineering based on experimental, analytical and/or numerical approaches. The main purpose of the journal is to foster understanding of the fundamental mechanisms behind the phenomena and processes in geomaterials, from kilometer-scale problems as they occur in geoscience, and down to the nano-scale, with their potential impact on geoengineering. The journal strives to report and archive progress in the field in a timely manner, presenting research papers, review articles, short notes and letters to the editors.

After undergoing major and minor revisions, the first external review process took a slightly longer time, about six months. The reviewers were very serious and responsible, and their professional questions greatly contributed to the improvement of the article. The editorial handling time is usually around one week. It takes about a month to receive acceptance notification online.
The journal has strict requirements, and even minor revisions may require external review.
The journal has a good reputation in the industry and was ranked in the first tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences last year. We look forward to its return to the top tier once again.
