The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.

This study examines the Spanish educational production inserted in the
SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index) database from 1988 to 1997. It
quantifies the yearly productivity using direct data and ad hoc
indexes. Then, it clasifies the references retrieved, according to
educational topics, by means of content analysis. Data about
educational journals and personal productivity are given. And finally,
it comments findings and makes inferences which could help to improve
the Spanish production in the field of educational sciences. Antonio Fernández Cano Key words: Spain. SSCI database. Productivity data. Educational production. Improvement of research. Educational research systems. |
