ASCE Journal of Management in Engineering : Review of the years 1985–2002

Where to submit? Journal choice by construction management authors

“…the ASCE Journal of Management in Engineering remained outside the set (cf. data provided by Pietroforte and Aboulezz, 2005). The second stage was the identification of authors.…”

“…Chau (1997) ranked 22 construction management journals according to perceived quality, based on e-mail responses from the CNBR network. More recently, Pietroforte and Stefani (2004) have analysed contents in articles published in the ASCE Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, followed by an analysis of both content and contributors in its sister Journal of Management in Engineering (Pietroforte and Aboulezz, 2005). More marginally, Construction Management and Economics, together with International Journal of Project Management, make an appearance in the core list of 562 journals defined in the analysis by Geary and al.…”

Framework to Address Ethical Issues in Multiple-authored and Mentor-supervised Engineering Publications

“…While there has not been a similar study conducted for the entire civil engineering profession, Pietroforte and Stefani [15] found that the average number of authors per paper in the ASCE's Journal of Construction Engineering and Management has increased from 1.70 in 1983-1985 to 2.25 in 1998-2000. Likewise, Pietroforte and Aboulezz [16] confirmed an increase in the average number of authors per paper in the ASCE's Journal of Management in Engineering from 1.31 in 1985-1987 to 2.27 in 2000-2002. Following the same trend and using the available ASCE's Online Library, the authors can reasonably assume that the average number of authors per paper should be now more or less around 3 for civil engineering publications.…”

“…Following the same trend and using the available ASCE's Online Library, the authors can reasonably assume that the average number of authors per paper should be now more or less around 3 for civil engineering publications. This increase in multiple authorship works and number of authors could be attributed to the growing pressure for funding, promotion, and tenure in U.S universities as well as the interdependent increased need for collaboration [13,14,15,16,17] .…”

“…Engineering and Management in 1998-2000 and 2.27 per paper in the ASCE Journal of Management in Engineering 2000-2002 [15,16] . Following the same trend and using the available ASCE's Online Library, the authors can reasonably assume that the average number of authors should be more or less around 3 per paper for civil engineering publications.…”
