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.
