Structures and Buildings: Call for Early Career Reviewers!

Structures and Buildings is pleased to announce the creation of an Early Career Reviewer Board.

About the journal

Structures and Buildings (STBU) publishes peer-reviewed papers on state-of-art academic research, along with best practice in practical construction projects of civil engineering structures (against short-term and long-term static and dynamic (including seismic) loads. This monthly journal welcomes combined experimental and numerical investigations into the behaviour of either structural components and or overall structural systems comprising various combinations of steel, concrete, timber, fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs), bio-based materials, glass and other construction materials.

One of the crucially important topics is the impact of structural engineering on sustainable development. In addition, the emerging technologies, such as AI and big data and their applications in structures, will also be welcomed. Papers on people movement within and around buildings may also be considered.

The role of the Early Career Reviewer

STBU decided to develop an Early Career Reviewer Board (ECRB) to give Early Career Researchers the means to participate within a journal publishing environment and to be involved in developing the journal for the community along with the Editor, Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members.

Selected applicants will be appointed to the ECRB for 2 years, after which there may be the opportunity to be appointed to the Editorial Board in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. Each successful member will be expected to review 3 to 4 new papers per year. Guidance will be provided for the journal’s submission system, ReView.
