Welcome to 15 new members of the Editorial Board of the ACAE journal
It gives me great pleasure to announce that the ACAE journal's Editorial Board (EB) has been expanded by fifteen new members. These researchers have established themselves as experts in the field of civil engineering research due to their unwavering dedication and many contributions across all study subfields. As authors and reviewers, they have also offered outstanding assistance to ACAE, and I am thrilled that they are further extending their contribution and expertise by joining our EB with a significant role in supporting the excellence and growth of ACAE. I am confident that they will have a significant part in ensuring that ACAE continues to heading upwards to academic achievements.
The Editorial Board is comprised of individuals who play an essential part in determining the overall direction of the publication. They contribute to the decision-making process regarding the scope of our publication, and drive new initiatives to assist in the enhancement of the journal. I have no doubt that a ACAE would benefit from the infusion of fresh energy, ideas, and initiatives that will be brought by new and different members of the Editorial Board.
