The Korean Journal of Construction Engineering and Management (KJCEM) is the official academic journal of the Korean Institute of Construction Engineering and Management (KICEM). Its mission is to promote and share knowledge on construction engineering and management that contributes to the successful implementation and delivery of capital assets both in Korea and worldwide.
The journal invites research that identifies and formalizes approaches to improve construction management practices, including contract and tender strategies, organizational structures, project cost and schedule control, and supply chain logistics. It also welcomes studies on emerging information technologies—such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Digital Twins—as well as next-generation construction technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual and Augmented Reality, modularization, robotics, and intelligent equipment, to enhance project outcomes. In addition, the journal seeks contributions that address sustainability, including carbon reduction, energy efficiency, resilient infrastructure, and sustainable construction practices. KJCEM welcomes submissions from both Korean and international authors whose research is relevant to these themes.
KJCEM provides a unique forum for disseminating knowledge related to the Korean AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) industry, which delivers engineering and construction services for diverse assets including high-rise buildings, high-tech manufacturing plants (e.g., semiconductors, biotech facilities), and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Given the global relevance of these sectors, the journal addresses topics of interest to both Korean and international audiences.
To achieve its aims, the journal publishes peer-reviewed original research articles, review papers, and case reports in Korean or English on a bimonthly basis. These contributions cover theoretical foundations, empirical developments, and novel applications of systems and technologies for advancing construction engineering and management.
