《土木與機械工程檔案》（ACME）出版了理論和實驗原始研究文章，這些文章從結構工程、材料力學和材料科學三個主要領域探索或開發新的思想和技術。該雜志的目的是推進結構工程相關的科學，重點是結構、機械和機械系統。該雜志還通過發表彈性、塑性、流變學、疲勞和斷裂力學方面的最新發現，促進了材料力學領域的進步。該雜志的第三個領域是材料科學，重點是金屬、復合材料等，它們的結構和性能以及評估方法。除了研究論文外，編委會還歡迎對專門主題的最新評論。所有這些文章都必須在提交前提交給總編輯進行審查。只有在提交前經過總編輯批準的文章才能提交給期刊進行進一步處理。在提交前階段的批準并不保證接受發表，因為所有的論文都要經過一個常規的仲裁程序。ACME不接受包含以下內容的手稿：?沒有實驗驗證和/或對過程沒有新見解的模擬。?對材料特性或產品性能的分析，而不參考導致其產生的工藝或其應用。

Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering (ACME) publishes both theoretical and experimental original research articles which explore or exploit new ideas and techniques in three main areas: structural engineering, mechanics of materials and materials science.The aim of the journal is to advance science related to structural engineering focusing on structures, machines and mechanical systems. The journal also promotes advancement in the area of mechanics of materials, by publishing most recent findings in elasticity, plasticity, rheology, fatigue and fracture mechanics.The third area the journal is concentrating on is materials science, with emphasis on metals, composites, etc., their structures and properties as well as methods of evaluation.In addition to research papers, the Editorial Board welcomes state-of-the-art reviews on specialized topics. All such articles have to be sent to the Editor-in-Chief before submission for pre-submission review process. Only articles approved by the Editor-in-Chief in pre-submission process can be submitted to the journal for further processing. Approval in pre-submission stage doesn't guarantee acceptance for publication as all papers are subject to a regular referee procedure.ACME does not accept manuscripts containing:? Simulation with no experimental verification and/or which gives no new insight into the process.? The analysis of material properties or product performance without reference to the processing which caused them or their application.
