A Bibliometric Analysis of ICT Development at the Comparative & International Education Society (CIES) from 2014 through 2019
Kang, Haijun
International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, v16 n3 p6-15 2020
This study is a follow up of Kang's study published in 2014. The purpose is to further examine the development pattern of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a topic and research area at the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) conferences by analyzing ICT-related CIES conference papers from 2014 through 2019 (2016 CIES conference papers were not included because they were not accessible to the author at the time of this study). The Bibliometrics method was used to collect and analyse data. The findings include: (1) ICT has developed a much stronger presence at CIES since Kang's study in 2014; (2) Geography-based digital divide remains; (3) Educational institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) continue to be the main players in ICT development at CIES; (4) The omnipresence of ICT in other topic and research areas is present; and (5) The interaction of ICT with special interest groups (SIGs) and standing committees have doubled. Additional observations were made, and future research studies were suggested.
