Literature review of the most cited articles in selected 5 educational technology journals during 2013 to 2017 – Identifying the champions
Abstract
The aim of the current review study was to examine the characteristics of the most cited articles, derived from five selected journals in the field of educational technology between 2013 to 2017. The research method of this study was the review of the most cited published articles. Total forty one (n=41) articles were reviewed first and later only seven most cited articles were selected for the father analysis. The results indicate that the most cited published article from the five selected per journal and the years between 2013 to 2017 was entitled “The gamifying learning experiences” (Citation count = 801 times). The results further highlight that three articles were derived from the journal of Computer and Education. The results also show that the five most cited articles were published in 2013 and other two articles were published in 2014 and 2015. A mixed methods approach, review of the empirical articles and quantitative approach were used as research methods in the most cited five selected journals. The results confirm that the journal of Computer and Education was found the most dominating in the field of educational technology research in all years. The results also show that the year 2013 was the most dominating years for the published articles reviewed in this study. The primary implication of findings will be beneficial for the novice researchers, Master Degree students and academicians to know the current issues of the educational technology and its future improvement. The limitation of this study is the issue of generalization because of the limited number of reviewed most cited published articles in the current study.
