Record Detail

Although research from the Asia-Pacific region
has been increasing, much is unknown about research
trends, authors, and institutions in the region, especially in
relation to learning and instruction. It is important to have
an understanding of current research to identify its
strengths and weaknesses and to chart future research
directions. It is also useful to identify prominent and productive
authors and institutions in the Asia-Pacific to
enhance international and regional collaboration between
researchers. Twelve top international journals from 2002 to
2011 in the fields of educational psychology, educational
technology, and learning sciences were examined. New
bibliometric measures, such as the q2 index, as well as coauthorship
network analysis, and cluster analysis methods
were utilized to provide insights into Asia-Pacific authors
and institutions in the field of learning and instruction
