For Authors
Welcome, Writers!
Thank you for your interest in STRUCTURE® magazine. As a premier publication of the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA), the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of ASCE, and the Council of American Structural Engineers (CASE) of ACEC, STRUCTURE communicates with every member of the leading structural engineering associations in the U.S. STRUCTURE content is information readers refer to, time and again.
Our publication is unique; its oversight is provided by an Editorial Board comprised of structural engineers representing a wide cross-section of specialties. The Editorial Board’s oversight has made STRUCTURE magazine the premier resource for practicing structural engineers… quality content generated by SEs for SEs.
Our Author Guidelines includes information on writing style, article submissions, graphics, and important forms. Our goal is to provide structural engineers with casual reading on materials, techniques, professional issues, resources, and more. With each article, we strive to provide a detailed overview of the subject and encourage readers to reach out for more in-depth information. STRUCTURE is not a journal. Lengthy, in-depth papers are not standard fare in the magazine.
Interested in submitting an article for consideration for publication in STRUCTURE? Please fill out this form, which asks for an abstract, author details, and expected date the first draft will be ready for review.
Manuscripts/abstracts are evaluated based on originality of topics, readability, soundness of content, timeliness, and interest to our readers. We may accept your article outright or accept it contingent on your revision(s). All accepted articles are subject to editing for style, clarity, unacceptable language and grammar, and length. The Publisher assumes that all authors have approved article content before the article is submitted for publication.
Before your article is published in STRUCTURE, please complete this form for final publication.
After publication, authors may purchase reprints to use for sales meetings, trade show handouts, training materials, recruitment brochures, investor profiles, annual reports, press releases, or the introduction of new products.
