Uncovering patterns of author productivity in educational leadership and management in Indonesia

2023-05-30T08:30:54+07:00

Background of the study: The rapid development in the field of educational leadership and management (EDLM) recently has led to an increase in the number of publications. In line with this, bibliometric analysis has been widely conducted to assess various fields of study, particularly in Indonesia. The abundance of publications also necessitates an examination of the extent to which authors' productivity levels contribute to the field of EDLM in Indonesia.

Purpose: This research aims to explore the pattern of author productivity by testing Lotka's Law on publications in the field of EDLM in Indonesia.

Method: The testing is conducted using the complete count and straight count methods to compare the results obtained from both approaches.
