The Analysis of the Co-Authorship in Journals of Educational Sciences of Authors from European Post-Socialist Countries

In this paper the aspect of collaboration on articles (n = 3017) in scientific journals (n = 384) was analysed, in the field of educational sciences of authors from 15 post- -socialist countries in the period from 1996 to 2019. The quantitative data was derived from the base Scopus, and they were complemented with structural interviews conducted with 10 scientists. The purpose of the research is to describe the co-authorship of the addressed groups of scientists and to determine the repercussions of the published articles in the scientific community. The results warn about insufficient representation of international co-authorships and about the low representation of authors from post-socialist countries in internationally relevant journals, which reflects on their low citation and visibility in a wider scientific community.
