AB  - This study examines publication patterns in Landscape Journal, a peer-reviewed academic journal founded in 1981 by the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture. The study provides the first longitudinal overview of Landscape Journal, contributing to a broader discussion of Landscape Journal’s role in advancing the scholarship of landscape architecture. A total of 312 articles published during the first 25 years of the journal were analyzed for authorship and article content, using content analysis and other methods. In general, publishing patterns observed for the first 25 years of Landscape Journal are characterized by shifting emphases of subject matter and gender balance of authors, a range of alternative scholarly topics as well as research methods, relatively strong record of collaborative work, and appeal to a broad audience.
