This morning I attended a great panel discussion on the Landscape Journal in celebration of its 25th anniversary. I'll write more about what was said, but here is something that wasn't discussed, the most cited papers from the Landscape Journal. I ran it through the semi-reliable Google Scholar (LJ isn't included in the major indexes) and came up with these as the most cited Landscape Journal papers of all time:
- Messy Ecosystems, Orderly Frames by Joan Nassauer, 1995 - 66 citations
- Perceptual Landscape Simulations: History and Prospect by Zube, Simcox and Law, 1987 - 47 citations
- A Framework for Theory Applicable to the Education of Landscape Architects (and Other Environmental Design Professionals by Carl Steinitz, 1990 - 41 citations
- An ecological aesthetic for forest landscape management by Paul Gobster, 1999 - 31 citations
- Prospects and refuges revisited by Jay Appleton, 1984 - 27 citations
So, that got me wondering how things stacked up in LAM, which probably isn't indexed as well. I was impressed with what did come up:
- The beholding eye: Ten versions of the same scene by DW Meinig, 1976 - 41 citations
- Hand drawn overlays: their history and prospective uses by C Steinitz, P Parker, L Jordan, 1976 - 29 citations
- Quality corridors for Wisconsin by Phil Lewis, 1964 - 20 citations
- Cellular worlds-models for dynamic conceptions of landscape by RM Itami, 1988 - 15
Its quite possible that one or two papers are really getting shorted by this, but the results mostly make sense.
