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
