Abstract

An analysis was conducted of feature articles published in the EDGJ (Engineering Design Graphics Journal) and indexed later by ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center).  After a spreadsheet was promulgated with data extracted from the ERIC database and validated with the aid of actual copies of the articles, the data were sorted and counted.  The results indicated that the EDGJ is a non-core journal, that at least 40% of the articles published in the EDGJ and indexed later by ERIC fall within the scope of the EDGJ, and that select ideas are being propagated by a select group of authors that target a select audience.
