Editorial Message
The impact factors for our journal show a robust consolidation at 2.3 for Part A and at 1.8 for Part B. This result is matching the average impact factors of journals in the respective areas, while the ranking is in Q2 for both parts. Based on the increased number of submissions in both parts, and running a number of Special Issues and Special Collections on emerging topics, we can expect a positive trajectory of this figure for the future. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the entire team of authors, reviewers, and editors for their outstanding high-quality work, based on which this has been achieved. It’s my great pleasure to report that we have received approval from ASCE to initiate fundraising towards the endowment of our best paper awards and their elevation to the “Bilal M. Ayyub Research Award for Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems” as an ASCE Society Award. This is a major step for us fostering our award in a self-sustainable manner. The campaign to raise sufficient funds for the award endowment has started, and we look forward to donations from the community. A donation towards the award endowment, no matter at which magnitude, would be a great appreciation of the leadership that our Founding Editor, Professor Bilal M. Ayyub, has provided for us establishing this fantastic forum of the journal for promotion and exchange of our research. For any intention to make a donation, please contact me directly. Your contribution would be highly appreciated. Please spread this call for donations further into the community and to relevant contacts. Any single Dollar would be a great personal expression of appreciation for the pioneer of our journal.
Please contact the Editor or the Managing Editors by email if you have an interest to guest edit a special collection (Part A) or a special issue (Part B).
Both Part A and Part B are listed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index by Clarivate Analytics , formerly Thomson Reuters, with Part A being indexed since 2019. From 2016 onward, all articles are included in Web of Science and Scopus .
Statement on Open Access
The editorial team motivates authors to share their pre-prints and/or accepted versions of their paper via institutional or other repositories, scientific social networks or personal websites in the spirit of Open Science. Please make sure to abide by embargos and other Journal Policies, which can be found here for part A  and here for part B .

EARLY CAREER EDITORIAL BOARD
Starting in 2020, the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems in its two parts has implemented the Early Career Editorial Board (ECEB) program to bring young members onboard its editorial board under the mentorship of the journal leadership.
ECEB members typically have a net academic age of 1-3 years. The term of an ECEB member is 2 years with the possibility for renewal into a second term. We welcome eight new ECEB members, who have been appointed for the next two years.Â
