Culminating preparations for the publication of JST-SCE Vol.6 No.02, December 2023

          Within the specialized field of construction engineering, the Editorial Board of JST-SCE has received 16 submitted manuscripts encompassing a diverse array of topics. These submissions span geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, earth sciences, geoinformatics, remote sensing-GIS, underground construction, construction materials, construction technology, project management, and construction economics.

          Of the authors who submitted manuscripts for JST-SCE Vol.6 No.02, a significant number have previously contributed high-quality scientific works to esteemed international journals and to LQDTU-JST. Notably, many of these contributors originate from prestigious educational and training institutions. These include the Department of Survey, Mapping and Geographic Information Vietnam, Weapon Institute-Vietnam Defence Industry, Air Force Officers College, Vietnam-Russia Tropical Center, and Can Tho University of Technology. It's worth highlighting that contributions for this volume extend beyond Vietnam, with authors affiliated with the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineering (South Korea) and the Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (Russia).

          At present, the submitted manuscripts are undergoing a thorough two-way blinded peer-review process by at least two leading experts in their respective research fields. These experts are associated with respected research institutions and educational organizations such as the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Vietnam Institute for Building Science and Technology, VNU-University of Science, Hanoi Architectural University, University of Transport and Communications, and Hanoi University of Mining and Geology. The primary objective is to ensure the content's quality and accuracy, with the aim to publish the accepted manuscripts online in JST-SCE, Vol.6 No.02 by the end of December 2023. Upon acceptance, these manuscripts will be assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).

          Beginning in November 2023, the LQDTU-JST and its affiliated sections will introduce the Online First process for scientific articles. For the upcoming publication cycle, JST-SCE will start accepting submissions for Vol.7 No.01 in English, set for release in June 2024. The collaborative efforts and support from experts, scientists, and authors are greatly appreciated in this academic endeavor.
