marks 20 in the global world and that their focus is lopsided in favour of the
Global North or themes favoured by the interests of the Global North. In a
content analysis of articles published in the first 50 years of the top journal in
the field of Comparative and International Education, the Comparative
Education Review, Wolhuter (2008:330-331) found that countries of the
Global North dominate the geographical focus of research. In addition, where
countries of the Global South are the subject of research, it is dominated by
researchers from the Global North (cf Wolhuter, 2018). Of the 18 523 articles
published in the total pool of Thomson-Reuters indexed education journals
for the year 2012, a mere 2.13% were authored by scholars in Africa (ibid).
Depaepe and Simon (1996) do not include the geographical terrain of articles
in their research but do provide an interesting analysis of author provenance.
For the articles published during 1961 to 1989 in Paedagogica Historica, the
rank-order of national provenance of authors is illustrated in table 2.2. The
pattern for the period 1990 to 1995 does not differ much. However, in this
period, the Global South fares worse with 1.6% of all authors (South Africa:
0.8% and Zaire: 0.8%) as shown in table 2.3. Table 2.2 National provenance
