The Analysis of the Co-Authorship in Journals of Educational Sciences of Authors from European Post-Socialist Countries

Abstract

In this paper the aspect of collaboration on articles
(n = 3017) in scientific journals (n = 384) was analysed,
in the field of educational sciences of authors from 15 post-
-socialist countries in the period from 1996 to 2019. The
quantitative data was derived from the base Scopus, and
they were complemented with structural interviews conducted
with 10 scientists. The purpose of the research is to describe
the co-authorship of the addressed groups of scientists and
to determine the repercussions of the published articles in the
scientific community. The results warn about insufficient
representation of international co-authorships and about the
low representation of authors from post-socialist countries in
internationally relevant journals, which reflects on their low
citation and visibility in a wider scientific community.
