This article reports on methodological approaches to evaluate the relevance and quality of educational research publications. In the first section it focuses on the ISI Social Science Citation Index and shows that this standard instrument for bibliometric measurement is insufficient for the representation of European educational research. In the…

Instructions are given for using three citation indexes produced by the Institute for Scientific Information: "Science Citation Index,""Social Sciences Citation Index," and "Arts and Humanities Citation Index."
