Abstract

This article honors the legacy of Professor Kadir Beycioglu as founding Editor of the REAL, Research in Educational Administration & Leadership and his scholarship. A content analysis of the REAL journal titles from inception in 2016 to 2023 was performed and confirmed the mission and intentions stated for the journal. Titles were organized into themes: International, cultural, policy, and leadership. The REAL is cost-free with unrestricted access which safeguards world-wide access in the current climate of censorship, suppression, and book banning. Dr. Beycioglu’s research is tendered through the lens of his membership in ELWB, Educational Leadership Without Borders, for whom he was the Keynote speaker for the 2019 ELWB biennial conference. His research voiced on Turkish schooling and leadership parallels with prophetic insight the warning cry for researchers to counter censorship and suppression efforts globally.
