Case Histories Journal
The International Journal of Geoen-
gineering Case Histories is an official
journal of the International Society
for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical
Engineering (ISSMGE), focusing on
the publication of well- documented
case histories.
The journal is unique
in that it is the ONLY refereed jour-
nal focusing exclusively on geoengi-
neering practice
. It is also available
online for digital download at no cost
at all!
By submitting your case histories
for publication in ISSMGE’s Case
Histories Journal you will get the
following benefits:
• Your manuscript will be published
within days after being accepted.
Our review procedure is as strict
as in the most prestigious journals,
but publication time is minimized.
• The journal’s published papers are
freely available and downloaded
thousands of times each month
by geo-professionals around the
world, thus your publication will
reach a significant number of geo-
technical engineers.
• Your paper will always be easily-
accessible, searchable by search
engines, and promoted in various
ways. For instance, when your
paper is published, an e-mail will
be sent to the subscribed members
of the journal’s newsletter, promot-
ing your paper!
• ALL case histories papers are
now also included in GeoMap
(
)
– each published case history is
positioned on an interactive world-
wide map, providing also the link
to the paper itself.
