About the Journal

The Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the Global South (JCEEGS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that advances critical and applied scholarship in civil and environmental engineering, with a distinctive focus on the Global South as a dynamic site of innovation rather than a peripheral field of application. The journal responds to the accelerating demands of urbanization, climate vulnerability, infrastructure inequality, and ecological transition by publishing work that is both technically rigorous and contextually grounded. JCEEGS brings together contributions that interrogate how engineering knowledge is produced, adapted, and mobilized in diverse socio-material settings, where constraints often catalyze alternative forms of ingenuity.

Departing from conventional engineering outlets that privilege universalized models, JCEEGS foregrounds context-sensitive approaches, encouraging submissions that integrate technical design with social, environmental, and institutional dimensions. The journal values interdisciplinary and practice-oriented research, including empirical studies, methodological innovations, and critical reviews that engage with real-world challenges such as resilient infrastructure, water and sanitation systems, sustainable construction, disaster risk reduction, and climate adaptation. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process, ensuring scholarly integrity, analytical depth, and international relevance, while the open-access model guarantees wide dissemination and equitable access to knowledge.

JCEEGS is particularly committed to amplifying underrepresented perspectives, positioning scholars and practitioners from the Global South as knowledge producers rather than mere data sources. By doing so, the journal seeks to rebalance global academic discourse in engineering and to foster a more inclusive epistemic landscape. It offers an intellectually vibrant platform for international authors who aim to contribute to high-impact debates while engaging with some of the most pressing infrastructural and environmental transformations of our time.

In terms of scholarly contribution, JCEEGS advances the field by bridging the persistent divide between engineering theory and socio-environmental realities, introducing a more reflexive, context-aware paradigm of civil and environmental engineering. It contributes to the development of adaptive, scalable, and sustainable engineering solutions that are responsive to local complexities while remaining globally relevant. Ultimately, the journal positions itself not only as a repository of technical knowledge, but as a catalyst for rethinking the role of engineering in shaping equitable and sustainable futures across the Global South.
