Abstract:   (90 Views)
  • This bibliometric study explores the academic landscape regarding classroom justice in higher education, utilizing 250 publications sourced from the Web of Science database covering the years 1990 to 2025. 
  • The research focuses on several key elements, including the identification of influential journals, authors, and institutions, the analysis of collaboration patterns between countries, an exploration of co-cited documents, and an examination of commonly used keywords and their thematic groupings. 
  • Findings reveal that Higher Education and Teaching in Higher Education journals are the leading contributors, with four authors identified as significant figures. The USA is the primary contributor, with the strongest collaborations between USA and New Zealand and UK and New Zealand. Co-citation networks emphasize key foundational paper by Colquitt (2001), highlighting theories of procedural and distributive justice. Keywords are grouped around themes of procedural and organizational justice, evolving to issues of identity.
