Journal of Engineering and Construction Management (JECM) is the first Iranian specialized journal in the field of engineering and construction management.

Despite the existence of prestigious and valuable journals related to civil engineering and architecture, the lack of a specialized journal in the field of engineering and construction management in the countryside caused this journal to start working in 2015 as a first Iranian specialized journal in the field. The basis of JECM publication is the promotion and development of the engineering and construction management science with a sustainable development approach. Therefore, while reflecting the scientific and research achievements in various fields of the construction industry, this journal tries to provide a basis for the publication of technical studies and developments in the construction industry by focusing on the specialized topics of engineering and construction management and propose a platform for expanding scientific achievements in the field of construction management and technology with a sustainable development approach. In this regard, JECM welcomes the achievements of researchers in the following research areas:

Engineering and Construction Management

• Sustainable Development in Construction (Sustainable and Green Building, Carbon Emissions, Energy, Waste management, Life Cycle Assessment, Circular Economy, etc.)
• Construction Informatics (Building Information modelling (BIM), Virtual & Augmented Reality Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Information Technology and Project Management Information System, etc)
• Smart Construction (Smart Building, 3D printing, Robotics, etc.)
• Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) (New Technologies, Mass Production and Prefabricated Building Systems, Open Building Systems ...)
• Urban Construction Management (Sustainable & Green City, Smart City, Resiliency, Infrastructure,...)
• Project Management Knowledge Areas (Integration, Risk, Quality, Resource, Stakeholders Management,...) and Project Planning and Control
• Concrete Technology and Building Materials

Civil Engineering

• Structural and Earthquake Engineering
• Water and Hydraulic Structures Engineering
• Geotechnical Engineering
• Road and Transportation Engineering
• Environmental Engineering

Architecture and Urbanism

• Architecture (Architectural Education, Architectural Technology, Architecture and Energy, Housing, Traditional Architecture, Landscape Architecture, etc.)
• Urban (Urban Design, Urban and Regional Planning, Urban Management, Urban and Rural Geography)

In order to achieve the goals of "JECM", all professors, experts and students of civil engineering, architecture, urbanism and other fields related to the construction industry are requested to submit their innovative and valuable scientific achievements to this journal. The manuscripts submitted to this journal are expected to:

• have a completely useful and comprehensive content and avoid basic and general explanations.
• have high research quality and an original, innovative and fundamental contribution in the field of construction industry.
• pursuit of filling the gap between the academic and research environments, executives and decision makers of the construction industry.
• directly related to the research axes of the publication and in order to promote topics related to engineering and construction management and sustainable development.
• contain novel and original content in scientific and technical fields and have not been published in other journals before (it should be noted that articles presented in conferences are excluded from this role and they will be printed if they accepted by the journal evaluation process).
