摘要: This study helps to determine what information is shared among Computer Science educators, and how that shared, so we may better prepare our students identify emerging trends in the discipline. An analysis of publication activity through use bibliometric other techniques presented. Productivity first authors field Education considered. Publication data from five leading journals (n = 5,274 articles) were analyzed using Lotka's Law (1926). Results indicate productivity distribution inconsistent with distribution. Conclusions are presented about research trends, future paths.
