Computers and Geotechnics is a peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier since 1985 that reports advanced computer applications in geotechnical engineering, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 7.1 and a first-quartile position in geosciences《计算机与岩土工程》是（Elsevier）自 1985 年起出版的同行评议期刊，报道岩土工程中的先进计算机应用，2025 年影响因子为 7.1，在地球科学类别列第一四分位。

Scope

• Advances in numerical algorithms and computational frameworks for geotechnical engineering are especially encouraged岩土工程数值算法与计算框架的进展尤其受到鼓励。
• The computer implementation of new constitutive models is within scope新本构模型的计算机实现也属于收录范围。
• Probabilistic methods and other advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics are covered概率方法以及其他先进的计算机应用，广泛覆盖岩土工程各主题。
• Applying newly proposed numerical methods to complex geotechnical problems or to well-documented case studies is of interest将新提出的数值方法应用于复杂岩土问题或资料详实的案例研究，也是该刊所关注的。
• Machine learning and data science are now welcome when the focus is on geotechnical problems and on foundational algorithms or physics-informed AI and ML techniques机器学习与数据科学现亦受欢迎，前提是聚焦岩土问题，并落在基础算法或物理信息驱动的 AI 与 ML 方法上。
• Submissions that mainly report proprietary codes, laboratory-test modelling, field monitoring, case histories or new design approaches are welcome only when they demonstrate novel user-implemented computational methods主要报告专有软件、室内试验建模、现场监测、案例记录或新设计方法的投稿，只有在展示新颖的、由用户实现的计算方法时才受欢迎。
• Mining, petroleum and transportation engineering topics are usually discouraged, and authors are asked to avoid two-part submissions采矿、石油与交通工程类议题通常不被鼓励，作者也被要求避免把一个研究拆成两部分投稿。
