This research aimed to evaluate the research articles in the journals Educational Administration Quarterly (EAQ), Educational Management Administration & Leadership (EMAL), and Educational Policy (EP) according to the theme, method, quality, and quantity of the articles published in 2019 and 2020. The data used in the research were collected by document analysis, one of the qualitative research techniques. The data was analyzed with the help of frequency and categorical analysis using the descriptive analysis method. In this study, the following themes were predetermined as research design and method, purpose and subject, study group, and analysis of data. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that in recent years qualitative research has dominated in educational research, content and document analysis has gained weight in the analysis of research, different sub-leadership titles have increased in the main theme of leadership in research issues, and new topics have been included in a problem-based broad school perspective. It was concluded that teachers, school administrators, students, and documents related to school processes were treatedas the study group, and, in general, document analysis and accordingly content analysis were used in the analysis of the data. It was observed that the largest number of articles published in the journals came from North America, particularly the USA while a certain proportion of research took place in other parts of the world. The findings can be interpreted as guiding researchers and practitioners in the field of educational policies, management, and leadership. According to these results, it is suggested that publications in the field should be published in journals that guide education policies by using a mixed pattern in the focus of school and school stakeholders, and such publications should be conducted in the local and regional context.
