Eight years of development in welcoming and engaging diverse scholars to share and promote STEM education research worldwide

Abstract

Abstract The International Journal of STEM Education went through eight publication cycle years from August 2014 to July 2022. The journal continues its growth trends in terms of multiple performance measures, reflecting on-going development of STEM education research and the journal’s international leadership. In this editorial, I share the journal’s development up to and including its eighth publication cycle year (August 2021–July 2022), and discuss the diversity trends in multiple dimensions including authorship and research topics reflected in the journal’s publications.
