Extending the educational leadership knowledge base in Asia: A comparison of research productivity in Israel and Hong Kong

This research analyses knowledge production in Israel and Hong Kong, which together account for over 50% of all Asian publications and citations in the field’s top international peer-reviewed journals over a 12 year period (2000-2011). The paper describes this bimodal distribution, details implications for the knowledge base and knowledge production, and outlines avenues of further research. The analytical framework is informed by the literature on knowledge production, leading to an analysis of publication outputs through descriptive statistics.
