Abstract:
Researchers have contributed significantly to the development
of the subject of urban green and open spaces (UGOS) in both practical
and fundamental aspects. As the number of citations indicates a paper
and author’s competency, the online web of science (ISI) was browsed to
identify the 100 most cited papers in the field of UGOS from 1980 to
2013. Papers were analyzed for authorship, journal sources, publishers,
institutions, countries, year of publication, categories, and author
keywords. The total number of citations was compared to the average
number of citations per year. From 1105 UGOS papers returned, the
maximum number of citations was 212. The top 100 most cited were
published from 1988 to 2011, with the majority in 2007. A remarkable
distinction was found in the comparison of total citations and average
citations per year. As total linear trend indicates a significant
growth in influential articles, urban green and open spaces are a
developing subject in landscape and urban planning. This study gives an
insight into the readership of UGOS by highlighting key papers.
