Abstract
After 5 decades of the Urban Affairs Association, more than 4 decades of the Journal of Urban Affairs (JUA), and with the departure of an editorial team, this seems an opportune moment to assess the contribution made by the journal to the field of urban affairs. This paper takes both an historical and analytical approach to this evaluation, detailing the institutional challenges associated with the journal’s production, coupled with identification of key themes in its catalog of papers. The historical exploration of defining articles and notable authors provides a retrospective of the key urban issues that have defined the JUA over the last 4 decades. We also undertake a content analysis of the JUA, utilizing Web of Science data, which dates back to 1993. This bibliometric analysis sheds further light on influential JUA authors, articles and topics, as well as key conceptual, intellectual, and social patterns and trends in the journal over the last four decades.
在经历了50年的城市事务协会和40多年的城市事务杂志(JUA)之后,随着一个编辑团队的离开,这似乎是一个评估该杂志对城市事务领域贡献的良机。本文采用历史和分析的方法进行评估,详细介绍了与期刊生产相关的制度挑战,并确定了其论文目录中的关键主题。对定义文章和著名作者的历史探索提供了过去40年来定义JUA的关键城市问题的回顾。我们还利用Web of Science数据对JUA进行内容分析,该数据可追溯到1993年。这种文献计量分析进一步揭示了有影响力的JUA作者,文章和主题,以及关键的概念,知识和社会模式和趋势在过去四十年的期刊。
