This study presents a novel approach to analyze the thematic evolution in the research area-'Educational Leadership'. This approach combines the content mining techniques and Network Analysis to detect and visualize the different research thematic topics. The co-word analysis method is used to longitudinally detect the frequency of popular topics and topic words in a given time period (1996-2015). The weighted network structure is used to analyze the relationships between themes through the co-occurrence of themes, with highlighted centrality and community of the network to show the hot topics in the theme and their relationships, and the changes and relationships between themes are presented through dynamic Network Analysis among the 4 periods (1996~2000, 2000~2005, 2006~2010, 2010~2015). With highlighted network centrality & community to show the hot topics in the theme and their relationship, and dynamic Network Analysis to present the changes and trends among the 4 periods (1996~2000, 2000~2005, 2006~2010, 2010~2015). Compared with traditional methods, our method provides direct visual effects, thereby making the structure scalable and providing easy-to-understand methods for public end users. The method in the current study can be widely used in other research fields.

Knowledge production on predatory publishing: A systematic review

2021

The systematic review of the research reported in this paper was conducted within the context of efforts to understand and combat predatory publishing, a new but fast‐growing area of research. It synthesizes the trends observed in knowledge production in predatory publishing, with a particular focus on the volume and distribution over time within different journals. It also looks at the composition of the predatory publishing literature in terms of the type of study, methods, topics, field of study, and contexts where research was conducted. Data were extracted from ERIC, Web of Science, and Scopus and identified 228 articles for evaluation published in 171 journals. The results demonstrate that the literature on predatory publishing is new but fast growing, with 88.6% of studies published since 2016. Only 37.3% reported empirical research, and the majority of these were quantitative studies with weak statistical tests. Medical journals carried the most articles. We conclude that scholarship on predatory publishing is in the early stages of development, and it is thinly distributed across journals, fields, and research contexts. It was surprising to find no studies in leading higher education journals, and this study reveals a research area that is still developing.
