Acta Geotechnica aims to foster the development of research in Solid mechanics, Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Soil water and Structural engineering. The journal explores the study of Solid mechanics to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Composite material. The studies in Geotechnical engineering featured incorporate elements of Shear (geology) and Stiffness.
The Mechanics works featured in Acta Geotechnica incorporate elements from Granular material and Porous medium. Soil water and Water content are closely related fields of research discussed in Acta Geotechnica. The journal explores research in Constitutive equation and the adjacent study of Plasticity.
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Stress (mechanics), apply to Effective stress as well. It focuses on Pile as well as the interrelated topic of Bearing capacity.
The most cited papers primarily tackle Solid mechanics, Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Mechanics and Stress (mechanics). The works on Solid mechanics tackled in the journal papers bring together disciplines like Granular material, Soil water, Finite element method, Constitutive equation and Computer simulation. While the published papers focused on Geotechnical engineering, they were also able to explore topics like Shear (geology) and Creep.
The journal investigates areas of study like Solid mechanics, Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Composite material and Stress (mechanics). It explores issues in Solid mechanics which can be linked to other research areas like Soil water, Finite element method, Constitutive equation, Stiffness and Anisotropy. Pile, Pore water pressure, Settlement (structural), Effective stress and Bearing capacity are among the concentrations of Geotechnical engineering that garnered much attention in the journal.
Mechanics research featured in Acta Geotechnica incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Granular material and Porous medium. The in-depth study on Composite material also explores topics in the intersecting field of Bentonite. Research on Stress (mechanics) addressed in Acta Geotechnica frequently intersections with the field of Overburden pressure.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Acta Geotechnica (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Acta Geotechnica (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 5.92% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.74% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.48% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.86% of all publications and 35.93% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in advancing their education and career in Engineering and Technology, pursuing related online degrees can be a strategic choice. A project management degree is particularly valuable, equipping students with skills to lead complex engineering projects effectively while adhering to timelines and budgets.
Additionally, an online architecture degree offers a creative and technical pathway that complements traditional engineering disciplines. This degree can be pursued flexibly, allowing students to balance work and study commitments.
For those seeking to accelerate their education, programs like the online architecture degree that can be completed in under two years provide an efficient route to enter the workforce sooner.
Moreover, the fast track project management degree online option enables ambitious students to quickly gain credentials, opening doors to leadership roles in engineering projects and technology firms.
