The magazine is published twice a year and utilizes a double blind peer review policy. Since 2018, Vitruvio belongs to the list of scientific journals recognized by the Italian research evaluation system for the disciplinary Macro-sector 08 Civil engineering and architecture.

The two themes have some overlaps in the case of interventions on built heritage because nowadays they must also aim to make buildings resilient and smart, namely less vulnerable to catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, flooding landslides, using innovations arising from new information and communication technologies. The journal involves various scientific expertises and it includes different topics related to the processes of new buildings and to restoration and conservation interventions of built heritage.
