In an effort to establish the extent to which adult education researchers are creating their own body of knowledge citation behaviors in Adult Education articles were studied. Nine judges classified the 2247 references that appeared in Adult Education from 1968-1977 as primary or secondary adult education literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
