“…There are several types of EL including distributed leadership (Spillane, 2005), learning leadership, sustainable leadership, and teacher leadership (Harris, 2003). As a result, EL has been reviewed by numerous authors from multiple perspectives (Arias & Cantón, 2006;Beycioglu & Pashiardis, 2014) such as gender (Antonakis et al, 2003;Cáceres et al, 2012;Cuevas et al, 2014;García-Carmona, Fernández-de-Álava, & Quesada-Pallarés, 2017), student academic achievement (Heck & Hallinguer 2010;Marks & Printy 2003;Robinson, Lloyd, & Rowe, 2008;Witziers, Bosker, & Kruger, 2003), parent participation at school (García-Carmona, Evangelou, & Fuentes-Mayorga, 2020), social justice (Theoarhis, 2007;Miller, Roofe, & García-Carmona, 2019), and school climate (Hallinger & Heck, 2010;Martín et al, 2014;Morris et al, 2020). However, there are few studies aimed at helping us to understand the evolution of EL publications at a multiple country level from when it first appeared in the field of education.…”
