| Abstract: | Individual researchers and the organisations for which they work are interested in comparative measures of research performance
for a variety of purposes. Such comparisons are facilitated by quantifiable measures that are easily obtained and offer convenience
and a sense of objectivity. One popular measure is the journal impact factor, based on citation rates, but it is a measure
intended for journals rather than individuals. Moreover, educational research publications are not well represented in the
databases most widely used for calculation of citation measures, leading to doubts about the usefulness of such measures in
education. Newer measures and data sources offer alternatives that provide wider representation of education research. However,
research has shown that citation rates vary according to discipline and that valid comparisons depend upon the availability
of discipline-specific benchmarks. This study sought to provide such benchmarks for Australian educational researchers based
on analysis of citation measures obtained for the Australian education professoriate. |
