Most of the planning students, planners, and even academic researchers in Taiwan would rather read textbooks than foreign journals. But it's often the best way to get new planning concepts, technologies, and to extend planning views from reading foreign journals directly. Most planning institutes in advanced countries regard planners to be a generalist or a generalist with one specific skill. Following this belief, and taking the role of guideman and reviewer, we broadly collect 45 English journals relevant to town and country planning, and select 26 of the 45 journals to be analyzed in this paper. The analysis offers the following information: (1) influence of journals in quantity; (2) contribution of journals in quality; (3) introduction of each journal's content; (4) journals necessary for planners to read; (5)journals properly for papers submission by Chinese. This paper includes the following contents: (1) introduction; (2) the quantitative data of each journal and the subscribing libraries; (3) the qualitative data & contents; (4) condlusions; (5) appendix: A review of one representative paper from each of the ten most important periodicals.
