About IJP

The International Journal of Pavements serves as a worldwide forum for industry professionals, educators, and researchers, publishing work on the maintenance, rehabilitation, and technological control of pavements.

The International Journal of Pavements is a worldwide forum dedicated to the maintenance, rehabilitation, and technological control of pavements. It welcomes contributions from researchers, educators, engineers, and professionals working across the fields of pavement engineering, transportation infrastructure, and asset management, providing a venue where technical results can be exchanged across disciplines and regions. Published for more than a decade, the journal has built a reputation for reporting work that connects laboratory and field practice with the long-term preservation of paved infrastructure.

The scope of the journal spans accelerated pavement testing, modern practices for both asphalt and concrete pavements, and innovative applications of advanced computer modeling. Manuscripts and conference papers are expected to address the practical and scientific dimensions of pavement performance, so that findings from controlled studies can inform decisions made by agencies responsible for road networks, airport surfaces, and other transportation assets. Interest is also welcomed in papers that examine testing methods, evaluation practices, and emerging technologies used to guide preservation and rehabilitation strategies.

A distinctive feature of the journal is its close relationship with the wider pavement community, including an annual meeting and collaborative conference activity that brings together authors, reviewers, and practitioners. Contributors gain access to an editorial and organizing committee of specialists who oversee the review process, along with clear author guidelines covering submission, abstracts, and presentation of completed work. Completed annual meetings and published proceedings help sustain the exchange of ideas well beyond the pages of each volume.

Readers of the journal include university educators, university researchers, and professional engineers involved in pavement design, evaluation, and management. Its content is disseminated through recognized bibliographic and citation databases, making individual papers discoverable and trackable over time. By combining scholarly rigor with attention to current practice, the International Journal of Pavements continues to serve as a reference point for those committed to understanding pavement behaviour, extending service life, and supporting sustainable transportation infrastructure around the world.
