This review has two purposes. First, we document the body of knowledge that has accumulated in Educational Management, Administration & Leadership over its five decades of publication. Second, we seek to identify the distinctive contributions of Educational Management, Administration & Leadership as a research journal in educational leadership and management. The review employed the bibliometric method in order to analyze the forms of corpus of 1438 articles published in Educational Management, Administration & Leadership between 1972 and the end of 2020. Bibliometric analyses used to document and assess the Educational Management, Administration & Leadership corpus included descriptive statistics, document citation and co-citation analysis, author co-citation analysis and keyword analysis. The review found that articles authored outside the UK have continued to grow as a proportion of the journal’s annual volume, thereby strengthening Educational Management, Administration & Leadership’s status as an ‘international educational leadership journal’. Document and keyword analyses found that ‘leadership’ has supplanted ‘administration’ and ‘management’ as the dominant driver in Educational Management, Administration & Leadership content since 2012. These analyses further affirmed the continuing strength of the journal’s conceptual contributions to the literature as well as its publication of a significant set of papers on shared forms of leadership. The review highlighted two areas for Educational Management, Administration & Leadership’s future development: further enhancing its citation impact and managing the growth of its international contributions.

这篇评论有两个目的。首先，我们记录了在其出版的五十年中在教育管理，行政和领导力方面积累的知识体系。其次，我们寻求确定教育管理，行政和领导力作为教育领导力和管理研究期刊的独特贡献。审查采用文献计量法，以分析1972年至2020年末在《教育管理，行政与领导》中发表的1438篇文章的语料形式。文献计量分析用于记录和评估教育管理，行政与领导能力语料库包括描述性统计数据，文献引文和引文分析，作者引文分析和关键字分析。审查发现，在英国境外撰写的文章占该期刊年度总量的比例持续增长，从而增强了教育管理，行政和领导地位作为“国际教育领导期刊”的地位。文档和关键词分析发现，“领导力”已取代“行政管理”和“管理”成为教育管理，行政和领导力的主要驱动力内容自2012年以来。这些分析进一步肯定了该杂志对文学的概念贡献的持续实力，以及该刊物发表的有关共享领导方式的大量论文。审查强调了教育管理，行政和领导力的未来发展的两个领域：进一步增强其引文影响和管理其国际贡献的增长。
