Short Description

Scholarship plays an important role in the development of professionalism (Weidman, Twale, & Stein, 2001), and professionalism is linked to leadership (Jameson, 2013). In this study, we explore the AECT scholarship network and its relationship to identifying emerging leaders and trends in AECT related fields of scholarship. Using bibliometric data compiled from the AECT major reference works, we explore the published scholarship network in an effort to document the nature and characteristics of the growth of research in the field of Instructional Design and Development.
