ASCE Journal of Construction Engineering and Management: Review of the Years 1983–2000
Publication: Journal of Construction Engineering and Management
Volume 130, Issue 3
Abstract
This study considers the contents of the papers published by the ASCE Journal of Construction Engineering and Management which has witnessed a growth in terms of number and length of papers and breadth of participation, particularly of international origin, during the 1983–2000 period. The content is analyzed according to two main dimensions: the type of subject and its composing topics, and the institutional sources of the papers. The analysis shows the evolution of the construction engineering and management discipline as it is represented in the journal. Over the years traditional construction engineering topics have been complemented by an increasing interest in construction management topics, such as management of the firm, project delivery systems (Build–Operate–Transfer and Design/Build), project performance evaluation and project quality planning. This paper, in addition, identifies 30 institutional sources of the published papers and the extent of specialization of these institutions in terms of subjects relating the construction engineering and management discipline.
