Abstract

In the modern scientific disciplines, scholarly journals fulfil a key role. Journals both secure the shared values of a scientific community and endorse what that community takes to be certified knowledge. Publications in scholarly journals have become the basic units of scientific communication in a discipline. Against this background, [the author] analyses in this paper the evolution of the leading scholarly journal in the field of education in the Netherlands, viz. Paedagogische Studien [Studies in Education]. He pays particular attention to the changing role of the editorial board of the journal, and to the use of citations in this journal in the period 1920-1975. Because of the close relationship between journal and discipline, this analysis highlights basic characteristics of the patterns of communication in educational science in the Netherlands.
