History

• The journal was launched in 1986 by Pergamon Elsevier, incorporating the earlier Journal of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment tunnelling content, and the first volume appeared in that year该刊于 1986 年由培格曼爱思唯尔创办，整合早期国际工程地质与环境协会隧道相关内容，第一卷同年出版。
• It was established to provide a dedicated venue for tunnel and underground space research, and it has grown with the global expansion of urban underground infrastructure and high speed rail tunnelling该刊设立的目的是为隧道与地下空间研究提供专门平台，并随全球城市地下基础设施与高速铁路隧道的扩展而成长。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 5.915 in 2021 to 6.407 in 2022, to 7.4 in 2024 and to 8.7 in 2025, maintaining first quartile standing across its categories throughout该刊影响因子由 2021 年的 5.915 升至 2022 年的 6.407，再升至 2024 年的 7.4 与 2025 年的 8.7，始终居各类别第一四分位。
• The journal has progressively expanded its scope to address mechanised tunnelling, urban underground space planning, resilience and risk assessment, and the application of building information modelling to underground construction该刊逐步扩展学科范围以涵盖机械化隧道、城市地下空间规划、韧性与风险评估以及建筑信息模型在地下工程中的应用。
• The publisher carries the journal on ScienceDirect and the digital object identifier prefix of its articles is 10.1016, shared with other Elsevier journals出版方将该刊载于（ScienceDirect），其文章的数字对象唯一标识符前缀为（10.1016），与爱思唯尔其他期刊一致。

Editors

• The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by an international editorial board whose members are drawn from civil engineering, geotechnical engineering and mining departments of universities and research institutes across the world该刊由一位主编带领，配以由世界各地大学与研究机构土木工程、岩土工程与采矿工程系学者组成的国际编委会。
• The editorial team includes associate editors responsible for subject areas such as mechanised tunnelling, ground support, numerical modelling, underground space planning and safety, reflecting the breadth of the journal编辑团队设有副编辑，分别负责机械化隧道、围岩支护、数值建模、地下空间规划与安全等方向，对应刊物的广度。
• Editorial handling follows the Elsevier editorial management system, with submissions assigned to handling editors based on subject expertise and competing interest declarations稿件处理依托爱思唯尔的编辑管理系统，依据学科专长与利益冲突声明分配责任编辑。
• Peer review is single-blind and the journal maintains the Elsevier standards on reviewer recruitment, conflict of interest management and editorial independence同行评审采用单盲方式，该刊遵循爱思唯尔在审稿人遴选、利益冲突管理与编辑独立性方面的标准。
• The masthead and board roster are published on the journal page at ScienceDirect and updated as new members join or existing members step down编委名单在（ScienceDirect）期刊页公布，并随成员增减而更新。
