Abstract
Over the past two decades, there have been significant efforts to investigate knowledge produc-tion in the field of educational leadership and management (EDLM) in non-Western contexts. Consistent with this effort, the present paper aims to identify the contribution of Turkish scholars to the international EDLM literature. More specifically, the review examined the volume, jour-nals, authors, types of papers, most frequently used keywords, citation impact, and co-citation networks of papers associated with Turkish EDLM scholars. Bibliometric methods were em-ployed to examine 313 papers published by Turkish scholars in internationally recognized jour-nals. The results show that while Turkish EDLM scholars have predominantly published in Tur-key-based journals, there has also been a substantial increase in the number of papers published in international journals in recent years. This literature is largely empirical with topical foci con-centrated on issues surrounding school leadership and organizational behavior. Author co-citation analysis identified three main Schools of Thought in the Turkish literature: Leadership for Learning, Leading Teachers, Administrative Behavior and Effects in Turkey. Several rec-ommendations are made in order to further develop EDLM field in both Turkey and other emerging countries.
