The discussions in Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology mainly cover the fields of Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Excavation, Mechanical engineering and Rock mass classification. While Geotechnical engineering is the focus of Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, it also provided insights into the studies of Stress (mechanics), Finite element method, Shield and Quantum tunnelling. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology addresses concerns in Structural engineering which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Numerical analysis and Computer simulation.
It investigates Excavation research which frequently intersects with Civil engineering. While it primarily focused on Civil engineering, it also opened dialogues on the discipline of Underground space.
The most cited articles are organized to address concerns in the fields of Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Rock mass classification, Excavation and Computer simulation. The works on Geotechnical engineering tackled in the journal publications bring together disciplines like Stress (mechanics), Shield and Quantum tunnelling. The journal articles address concerns in Structural engineering which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Numerical analysis and Displacement (vector).
The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Geotechnical engineering, Shield, Stability (probability), Computer simulation and Excavation. The presented research on Geotechnical engineering deals specifically with Stress (mechanics) but it also addresses topics in Quantum tunnelling. The overlapping concepts between Stratum and Loess, Biot number, Groundwater, Settlement (structural) and Overall pressure ratio are the key highlights of Shield study.
The journal focuses on Stability (probability) but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Seepage flow, Measure (mathematics), Shield tunneling, Catastrophic failure and MATLAB. Issues in Computer simulation were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Conical surface, Dilation (morphology), Instability and Limit (mathematics). It tackles studies in Civil engineering and the interrelated subject of Natural (archaeology), General knowledge and Interaction problem to gain insights into Excavation.
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 Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology (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 Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology (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 2022 edition, 13.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 46.15% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.08% of all publications and 23.08% 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.

(2020)Exploring engineering and technology education in the USA extends beyond traditional on-campus programs. Many students seek flexible and cost-effective options, such as pursuing the cheapest engineering degree, which can make a significant difference for those mindful of tuition fees.
For those interested in advancing their leadership skills within technical fields, leadership doctoral programs offer a valuable pathway. These programs prepare professionals to take on strategic roles, blending technical expertise with organizational management.
Additionally, students looking for more accessible entry points might consider the best associates degrees to get, which often serve as a practical stepping stone toward higher qualifications and can lead to rewarding careers in engineering support roles.
Specialized fields such as construction management are also growing in demand. Online options like the online construction management degrees provide focused training that combines technology and project management skills, preparing graduates for leadership positions in this vital sector.
