A dataset on analysis of school-based management research from 1984 TO 2023

Abstract

The dataset aims to map scientific publications in the field of school-based management visually at the global level indexed by Scopus using Bibliometric analysis. It focuses on articles on School-Based Management at the international level. Research data were obtained from the Scopus database from 1984 to 2023 through the publish or perish software. Then the paper will be analyzed using the VOS viewer application for viewing and creating the desired Bibliometric maps. There is a sharp increase in the number of studies on this topic, especially from 2018 to 2022 and mainly from research in the US, Hong Kong, Australia, and developed countries. Moreover, the issues of most interest are SBM in terms of student achievement, schools, Hongkong, leadership, autonomy, school autonomy, governance, school effectiveness, school improvement, school reform, decentralization, education reform, education policy, decision-making, adolescent, article, human, humans, school health services, primary education. Policymakers and scholars can find great authors, research centers, influential studies and frequently published journals on this topic to read and research. Further studies based on the combination of bibliometric analysis with other methods may help paint a more profound picture of research findings on this topic.
