Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.

Society information
Founded in 1886, the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) has promoted the advancement and development of science, technology and art concerning architecture, with the mutual collaboration of its members. It was originally established as an institute for architects, with 26 founding architects. Mr. Josiah Conder, a British architect invited to teach at the Technical College in Tokyo (present the University of Tokyo) as a Professor of Architecture by the government, was elected as Honorary President of the Institute. The Institute was authorized by the Ministry of Education and changed its name to the Architectural Institute in 1905 and to the Architectural Institute of Japan in 1947. AIJ celebrated its centennial in 1986.
AIJ is an academic association with about 35,000 members. It is not a governmental organization but a non-profit organization for architects, building engineers and researchers in every field of architecture. AIJ publishes results of research and studies and spreads architectural culture through its programs such as exhibitions, symposia and distributes architectural information to the public. The main purpose of the Institute is to cultivate its members' abilities and to heighten architectural quality in Japan. Front-line researchers, officers of other architectural associations and officials of government and other public offices also are members of AIJ. AIJ liaises with universities and other research institutes. As the sole integrated institute in the field of architecture, AIJ has made an important contribution to the development of science, technology and art. There are many associations for architects, building engineers, general contractors, and building materials and equipment corporations in Japan. Among these associations, AIJ has been the most prestigious academic association.
AIJ organizes nationwide activities for its members. AIJ has nine chapters by dividing Japan into the following nine regions -- Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Tokai, Hokuriku, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu -- for activities to meet the detailed needs of each chapter. AIJ owns its head office building equipped with a library, a hall and conference rooms for members at the center of Tokyo.
The Architectural Institute of Korea (AIK) , the sole comprehensive organization for architectural research in Korea, was established in 1945 by the pioneers in Korean architecture, aiming at the advancement of architecture and the innovation of architectural technology.
Approximately 25,000 persons, embodying architects, building engineers, Researchers, professors, students, and government officials, are registered as the AIK's members, including library members and special members. The AIK is operated by a general assembly, a board of directors and committees, having eight local chapters. It publishes academic periodicals and journals, regularly holding academic conferences, symposia, seminars, and lectures.
Founded in October 1953, Architectural Society of China (ASC) is a national academic institute constituted by the professionals of architectural science and technology in China. ASC defines its development strategy by adhering to “Pursuit of Academic Excellence, Pioneer in Industry Development, Assistant to Government and Home for Members”. ASC Council comprises 10 working committees and there are 44 sub- institutes under the umbrella of ASC, including 24 professional institutes and 20 academic/ professional committees). Except Taiwan Province, 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have set up the local architectural societies. The ASC Headquarter maintains an operational directing relationship with all its local chapters.
ASC has over 100,000 individual members including honorary members, fellows, members, student members and correspondence members, and also has over 300 corporation members. ASC entrusts its sub-institutes and local chapters to assist for admitting members and practices dependency administration. In order to commend and encourage the work and contribution of the architectural engineering professionals from China and around the world, ASC awards two prizes, namely ASC Architectural Design Award and Liang Sicheng Architecture Prize.
