Abstract
Published articles within the Journal of Research on Technology in Education (JRTE) report on original research and include project descriptions, evaluations, literature syntheses, assessments, and theoretical or conceptual positions. These works inform the field of educational technology related to teaching and learning. As the flagship journal for International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), JRTE (previously JRCE) is a major research outlet for academic research centered around practical application of technology across educational contexts. Using the Scopus database, I retrieved 440 JRTE research articles from 2001 through 2020. In this article, bibliometric methods are used to explore trends in JRTE. Findings of this study provide a comprehensive overview on articles on practitioner-focused educational technology in teaching and learning over the past 20 years.
