NETNOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF PEDAGOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS SUBJECT SPECTRUM OF PERIODICAL JOURNALS WHICH ARE INDEXED IN SCOPUS SCIENTOMETRIC DATABASE
Abstract
Netnographic analysis of international pedagogical periodical journals which are indexed in Scopus scientometric database has been realized in the article. The authors gave appraisal of pedagogical investigations’ priority directions which are published in the most quoted world’s journals. Subject coverage of the Top-300 pedagogical periodical journals from the rank-list presented by Scimago Journal & Country Rank Internet-platform has been also analyzed. Comparison between pedagogical journals’ quotation-indexes and corresponding indexes of technical, natural-scientific, legislative and political subject issues has been also completed. The authors succeeded in refuting the widely-spread but mistaken opinion that pedagogical issues are insufficiently presented or even absent in Scopus database. It has also been found out that the majority of pedagogical periodical journals which are indexed in Scopus deal with problems of general education and upbringing; pedagogical psychology and sociology; organizing of pedagogical investigations and pedagogical statistics.
