Host: The City Planning Institute of Japan
This paper is an attempt to characterize citation of Journal of the City Planning Institute of Japan in domestic journals related to urban planning. We compare the average citation per article published in such a journal with those in Journal of Architecture and Planning, Journal of Infrastructure Planning and Management, and Landscape Research Japan. The study shows a declining pattern in the number of times the journals cited which was confirmed using the negative exponential distribution. Then we compute half-lives and density of articles which may be cited. We also described the relationships of journals related to urban planning, based on the citation distribution of journals.
