Aims and Scope

The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review.

Verified Reviews

This journal is clearly a top journal in the field of geotechnical numerical simulation. I don't understand the classification by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Maybe they are biased towards Aisville. In Europe, especially in the UK and the Netherlands, it has a high recognition. The first review was received after three and a half months of submission, with two reviewers providing comments, one minor revision and one rejection. The editor-in-chief requested major revisions, which took one and a half months to be accepted. Although its overall impact is not as high as COGE, personally, I feel that some of the papers published in this journal are of much higher quality than those in COGE.

NAG and COGE are the best publications in computational geotechnical mechanics. NAG has fewer publications and a longer history, while COGE has rapidly improved its impact factor in recent years due to its extremely fast review process and the involvement of a large number of Chinese editorial board members. COGE has become the top journal in computational geotechnical engineering, while NAG is gradually declining and has even been classified as a third-tier journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, both NAG and COGE are good journals, at least ranking below Geotechnique, JGGE, and CGJ in the field of geotechnical engineering.
