Abstract

This research examines publication and citation data to assess the contribution of Australian educational research to major international journals. Additionally a set of highly cited articles is reviewed to assess the relevance of educational research to teaching practice and policy making. Australia makes a significant contribution to international educational research, although its share of publications has been increasing over time, whereas its share of citations has remained relatively constant. Substantial turnover in leading research institutions is found over time. It might be possible to explain this turnover by the productivity of a small number of academic staff members. Finally it is found that Australian educational research is extremely relevant to educational practice.
