Use when targeting Cement and Concrete Research or deciding whether a cementitious-materials manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's materials-science fit, the mechanism-plus-characterization bar, the distinction from mix-design optimization, characterization rigor, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Cement and Concrete Research (cement-and-concrete-research)
## Journal positioning
Cement and Concrete Research is the leading archival journal for the **science of
cementitious materials**: cement hydration and chemistry, microstructure
development, durability and degradation mechanisms, and the mechanical behavior of
concrete and cement-based materials. Its center of gravity is mechanistic
understanding backed by rigorous characterization — why a phase assemblage forms,
how microstructure evolves, and how that governs transport, durability, or
strength. The journal rewards papers that establish a materials-science mechanism,
not papers that merely report that a mix or admixture changed a performance
number. A mix-design or proportioning optimization with no mechanism, no
characterization, and no fundamental insight is a poor fit. This skill is a **fit
