Research in Chemistry Education today
Keywords:
Chemistry, Chemistry EducationAbstract
In the present investigation, a characterization of the spaces available to publish the results of research in chemical education in journals that are recognized for their quality is carried out, and the behavior of publications on this science in Scopus is characterized. A total of 10,689 publications related to Chemistry Education were identified, from which a sample of 2,000 was taken, assuming a sampling error of less than 1%. From the sample taken, it was identified that the most worked research areas are those related to education and practical applications and, to a lesser extent, those related to physics. However, research in organic and inorganic chemistry is scarce. Similarly, it was positive to identify the existence of a wide network of collaboration in research between different countries, although it was observed that, of the 98 countries that were part of the sample, in about 25% no links for investigations among nations were found. Similarly, the known fact that research is concentrated in the most economically developed nations such as: the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Germany was corroborated.
