In 2023, the journal was included in the Scopus database.

Since 2017, each publication has been assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number, distributed by DataCite and Crossref organisations.

The journal publishes original scientific works concerning civil engineering and architecture, also focusing on local problems characteristic of the regions of Central and Eastern Europe (read more about the journal’s aims and scope).
