The impact of Computers and Education measured beyond traditional bibliographical metrics

Abstract

The goal of this editorial is to explore if these alternative metrics can shed light of the societal impact of all the articles published in Computers & Education (1976–2018). For this purpose, we compare all the articles of this journal through the lens of both traditional and alternative metrics. We want to understand if Computers & Education had mainly an impact in the academic community, or also had an impact in society.
