The International Journal of Solids and Structures has traditionally contained author indexes and contents lists at the end of each year. Useful though these are, we believe that they would be enhanced by the addition of indexes compiled from keywords associated with each paper. This would allow readers to identify groups of
papers in similar areas.
In an electronic environment, the need for a uniform keyword system is particularly important to facilitate effective information searchand retrieval.To ensure a consistent approach we have prepared a list of preferred
keywords for use. This list is not exhaustive and should be used as a guideline. If you feel there are serious
omissions please do not hesitate to contact the Editors-in-Chief or Publisher to ensure that new terms are added.
