Abstract: Scientific communication in the field of educational technology was 
examined by analyzing references from and citations to articles published in 
Educational Technology Research and Development (ETR&D) for the period 
1990-2004 with particular emphasis on other journals found in the citation 
record. Data were collected on the 369 core articles found in the 60 issues 
published during that time period, their reference lists (containing over 14,805 
individual items), and citations of those articles in other journals (1,896 
entries). The top cited and citing journals during that time period are listed. 
Nine symbiotic journals (i.e. those that are most cited by ETR&D and frequently 
cite it) were identified: Contemporary Educational Psychology, Educational 
Psychologist, Instructional Science, Journal of Computer-Based Instruction (no 
longer published), Journal of Educational Computing Research, Journal of 
Educational Psychology, Journal of Educational Research, Journal of Research in 
Science Teaching, and the Review of Educational Research. The results provide 
an in-depth, quantitative view of informal connections within the field via the 
citation record. Implications for further research and the potential influence of 
new technologies on scientific communication are also discussed.
