Abstract

Sex differences in the content and authorship of articles published in major educational, women's, and minority journals from 1973-1977 were examined. In that five-year period, research related to women in education accoun ted for approximately 10% of the research published in four major educational research journals, 24% of the research published in two women's journals, and 6% of the research published in two minority journals. No increase in the relative number of articles related to women and education published from 1973 through 1977 was found. Articles authored by women accounted for 9%, 59%, and 17% of the research published in educational, women's, and minority journals, respectively. No increase in the relative numbers of articles authored or coauthored by women from 1973 through 1977 was found. The relationship between publications and the status of women in educational research is discussed. (32pp.)
