Educational Research Communication and Research Organization: International Research Arenas in a Scandinavian Welfare State Context

• The study analyzes publication patterns in Swedish educational research. The aim of the study was to capture the total publication output of a sample (N=653) of educational researchers in order to analyze the wide variety of publication work in education. The researchers in the study were identified as educational researchers through their applications for funding of educational research, at the two largest bodies for funding of research in Sweden. A total of 4172 publications have been categorized into ten publication types or formats (e.g, books, research articles, newspaper articles). The peer-reviewed articles were found to be distributed across a large number of journals. The articles were analyzed in terms of the prestige level of the publishing journals.
