Abstract

This research intends to analysing the citation of articles that have published in science education journals indexed by SINTA (Science and Technology Index). The research objects were 19 journals that rated Sinta 1 to 6. The articles were analysed descriptive-qualitatively through Google Scholar. There were six aspects of analysis including (1) number of citations; (2) average citation; (3) the most-cited article; (4) the least-cited article; (5) the most-cited theme; and (6) the least-cited theme. The analysis revealed that the highest citation was articles published in Jurnal Pendidikan IPA Indonesia with a total citation of 2,679 from 2012 to 2019. The lowest number of citations was in Spectra: Jurnal Kajian Pendidikan Science, for having nine citations within two years. The most-cited article reached 178 citations. However, most of the published articles have not been cited yet. Moreover, the most-cited theme was a science learning strategy. In conclusion, the articles published in journals of science education were in a low category because the average of articles citing is less than 10.
