Aims & Scope
Aims
SIGn Journal of Civil and Architecture aims to provide a scholarly platform for academics, researchers, practitioners, engineers, architects, and professionals to examine contemporary issues in civil engineering, architecture, and the built environment, develop theoretical and applied knowledge, and contribute to the advancement of sustainable, resilient, safe, and technologically responsive infrastructure and buildings at national, regional, and global levels.
The journal seeks to facilitate scholarly discussion on current developments in civil engineering and architecture while contributing to the expansion of Indonesian discourse in these fields and its engagement with broader regional and global developments. It welcomes manuscripts employing diverse research methodologies, provided that they meet scientific standards, address relevant engineering or architectural issues, and demonstrate a substantive contribution to the development, design, construction, performance, management, or sustainability of infrastructure and the built environment.
SIGn Journal of Civil and Architecture publishes scientific articles in English to broaden access to readers and contributors worldwide. Editorial consideration is primarily based on the accuracy and reliability of the data and research results, the appropriateness of the research methodology, the objectivity and coherence of the analysis, the relevance of the issue examined, and the significance of the contribution presented by the authors.

The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary research that connects civil engineering and architectural knowledge in addressing the performance, safety, sustainability, resilience, digital transformation, and lifecycle management of buildings and infrastructure. Studies involving emerging technologies, environmental considerations, or interdisciplinary approaches are welcomed when their research problems and scholarly contributions remain substantively situated within civil engineering, architecture, infrastructure, or the built environment.
Manuscripts should demonstrate a clear relationship between the engineering or architectural problem, theoretical or conceptual foundation, methodology, data or evidence examined, findings or analysis, and the scholarly contribution claimed by the authors. Submissions that fall outside the journal’s stated scope or fail to demonstrate sufficient relevance and scientific significance to civil engineering, architecture, infrastructure, or the built environment may be declined during the initial editorial screening.
