Abstract
It was an honor to receive an invitation from Professor Hojjat Adeli, Editor-in-Chief of Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering (CACAIE), to write an editorial commemorating the 35th anniversary of this truly excellent journal. CACAIE is a scholarly peer-reviewed archival journal that acts as a bridge between advances in computer technology and civil and infrastructure engineering. It provides a unique forum for original articles on novel computational techniques and innovative applications of computers https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/ journal/14678667. Under the leadership of Professor Adeli, CACAIE has become the best journal in the field of civil engineering, and the first and only journal with an impact factor over 10. My research interests focus on developing and researching different classes of semiconductors, civil and mechanical systems, new science and engineering of smart materials, sensing, data interpretation and fusion, and intelligent decision support that allows discovery and prevention of abnormal behavior in these critical systems. Although not all of my research interests fall within the scope of the journal, CACAIE is always my first choice when targeting a journal for my latest research, partly because CACAIE ranks first in its field out of 136 journals, and also because CACAIE has an expedited review policy ensuring that authors receive timely comments on their submissions from at least five reviewers. For my recently published paper in CACAIE, I received review comments from six reviewers within 2 months. A rapid review policy does not imply low review quality. CACAIE reviewers are leading researchers in their fields and are well qualified to conduct reviews. All reviewers are urged to provide constructive comments to improve the content and presentation of the manuscript if there is merit in an original idea; additional reviews are solicited if Professor Adeli is not satisfied with the review quality Adeli (1998). Authors receive valuable comments to improve their manuscripts. Timely, high-quality review comments are useful to authors regardless of whether
