Research on Curriculum Leadership: A Bibliometric Analysis
International Journal of Curriculum and Instructional Studies, v15 n1 p1-28 2025
This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine works on curriculum leadership, as indexed in the Web of Science database. Utilizing VOSviewer software for the analysis, the study encompasses 124 articles/chapters accessible in this database. The findings indicate a predominant publication of curriculum leadership studies in journals pertaining to Education and Educational Research. Notably, there has been a surge in studies in this field since 2010, with the peak year being 2017, which saw 16 publications. The United States emerges as the leading country in curriculum leadership research, contributing 34 studies. In 2023, research in this domain garnered the highest number of citations, totaling 139, with "curriculum leadership" being the most prevalent keyword, appearing in 38 studies. Rose M. Ylimaki stands out as the most prolific author with nine publications, while M. Fullan and A. Harris are the most cited authors, receiving 46 and 40 joint citations, respectively. The journal 'Educational Management Administration & Leadership' is noteworthy for receiving the most citations in this field, totaling 113 across three articles. The book "Curriculum Leadership by Middle Leaders: Theory, Design, and Practice" is distinguished as the most published work in this area, with five publications. Furthermore, the article "Faculty Development for Educational Leadership and Scholarship" is significant in the realm of curriculum leadership studies, having accrued 98 citations. Research results show that the view of curriculum leadership has changed over the years, and its focus has begun to shift from educational management to curriculum development. It is also an important finding that the issue is limited to certain geographical regions. In order to progress in this field, it is essential to examine a wide range of viewpoints, expand research beyond existing geographical boundaries, and take into account the effects of digital transformation and fresh approaches to instruction.
