The Impact of STEM Research in Urban Education: A Citation Analysis
Document Type
Presentation
Abstract
This study provides a characterization of the impact of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) articles published in three urban education journals from 2014 until 2020. This citation analysis included 49 STEM-related studies retrieved from Urban Education, Education and Urban Society, and The Urban Review. The results indicate that STEM-related studies published in Education and Urban Society and Urban Education have a similar impact on the field based on the almost identical number of mean normalized citations, 13.60 and 13.50, respectively. Additionally, STEM integration is an important predictor of citation frequency within urban education journals.
