This article combines large-scale bibliometric analysis of publications on education by researchers based in sub-Saharan Africa with researchers’ accounts of their priorities and practice. Patterns in the thematic foci of the research from 48 countries in the region are considered from the perspective of international policy statements (the Education Sustainable Development Goal and the African Union’s Agenda 2063), alongside analysis of funding, coauthorship, and citations. We find a large number of publications by these scholars in reputable journals that merit greater scholarly engagement. Furthermore, evidence presented in this article challenges claims about the dominance of Northern research agendas in sub-Saharan Africa.

撒哈拉以南非洲的教育研究：质量、可见性和议程

本文将撒哈拉以南非洲研究人员的教育出版物的大规模文献计量分析与研究人员对其优先事项和实践的说明相结合。从国际政策声明（教育可持续发展目标和非洲联盟 2063 年议程）的角度，以及对资金、合着和引用的分析，考虑了该地区 48 个国家的研究主题焦点的模式。我们发现这些学者在值得更多学术参与的知名期刊上发表了大量论文。此外，本文中提供的证据挑战了关于撒哈拉以南非洲北部研究议程占主导地位的说法。
