This study examined data from the years 2017-2021 in a sample of 24 journals in communication studies to determine normative and exceptional rates of publication. These data were examined using the traditional full counting method to determine research participation by assigning credit to each author, equally, when listed on a research…

Synthesizers of evidence are increasingly likely to encounter studies published in predatory journals during the evidence synthesis process. The evidence synthesis discipline is uniquely positioned to encounter novel concerns associated with predatory journals. The objective of this research was to explore the attitudes, opinions, and experiences…

Special education policy and scholarship have increasingly emphasized the use of research that encompasses interdependent methodological approaches designed to address specific questions.

The article provides a resource to help faculty cultivate their education research ideas and place those ideas within a framework suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal such as "Chemical Engineering Education." The six-element publication framework is supported by two metaphors, a funnel and a house, to illustrate how to…

People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are vulnerable to multiple long-term conditions (MLTC). However, in the UK, there are no individual strategies tailored for them.

This study aims to analyse articles which are concerned with neoliberal education policies in the literature through systematic review. The current study makes efforts, in its scope, to exhibit the descriptive properties (methodological…

This study analyzes information accumulated in WoS databases on special education and technology with bibliometric methods. Bibliometric analyses, seen as an alternative to systematic literature reviews, meta-analysis, and meta-synthesis, contribute to determining essential actors in the field by analyzing the publication and citation trends, the…

English education stakeholders need ways of envisioning and advocating for transformative approaches to literacy teaching.
