Involvement of Women in the Production of Doctoral Dissertations in Education in Andalusian Universities

Abstract

Research in educational aspects is crucial in contemporary society due to the continuous scientific and social changes. Doctoral dissertations are a source of information on various patterns of educational research, as well as trends and preferred lines of scientific research. A bibliometric study of doctoral dissertations on education carried out in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia in the period 2010 to 2021 is presented. A total of 951 dissertations were analyzed using bibliometric techniques and network analysis. A large drop in doctoral production was observed in recent years, and the University of Granada emerges as the driving institution of educational research in Andalusia.
