structures. Those who are interested in are invited now to send a brief abstract in one page of A4 paper with necessary information.
Necessary information : Title, Authors, Institute, E-mail address, and a brief abstract.
Both practically new and pioneering contents are welcome.
Planned time of publication: 2008.

Length of paper: not more than 12 pages after final printing.
Language : English
Abstract should be submitted before June 30th, 2007, to the following address:

Soils and Foundations has been indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded
The Japanese Geotechnical Society is delighted to announce that
Soils and Foundations has been indexed in the Science Citation Index
Expanded. This decision makes the journal one of the best places
to submit and find papers of top quality. Currently, those papers
published since the February 2001 issue are included in the database.
The Japanese Geotechunical Society has long been making efforts
to make the journal an ideal place for international publication.
In addition to polishing English draft writing for non-native speakers
of the language, more electronization is being prepared. Due respects,
however, will be paid to subscribers who have continuously supported
the journal financially. Anyhow, the international geotechnical
community is invited to submit good research outputs to Soils and
Foundations.
Soils and Foundations became Bi-Monthly from 1999
From 1999, the annual number of issues of Soils and Foundations
had increased from four to six. The main purposes were:
a) to increase the total number of pages per year by about 1.5 times, so that
accepted papers can be published as soon as possible, and
b) to publish occasionally, hopefully once a year, special issues
on specific geotechnical topics without interfering with the publication
of ordinary issues. The special issues which have been published
already and are to be publish soon are:
1) Special Issue on the 1995 Hyogoken-Nambu Earthquake, January 1996;
2) Special Issue on the 1995 Hyogoken-Nambu Earthquake, No. 2, September 1998
(Distributed free to all 1998 subscribers);
3) Special Issue on Underground Construction in Soft Ground, July 1999.
Other special issues on geotechnical engineering practice and related research
and investigation are also being organized.
With this change, the period between submission and publication of your papers
will be shortened significantly.
In spite of the increase in the annual number of issues, we have decided to retain
the current subscription fee for overseas readers. (Six issues will be published
in February, April, June, August, October and December)
We are most grateful for your continuing interest in Soils
and Foundations.
