I just quickly checked its references: two journals that compromise a big chunk of the cited sources have very low impact factors.

Unless they are using a diff. metric for education journals or they are relatively new, I would not consider this a reliable report

This is a better study: https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S010...




To be fair, it seems obvious that the education industry (those journals) would have a bias against homeschooling. Getting published by people who hate your message is just not likely.


Do academia (universities) and high/elementary school have such loyalty to each other? I thought that most colleges were quite friendly to homeschooled students.


Academia is (perversely) not incredibly enamored with novel systems from my experience. My theory was that it has something to do with most of the tenured professors being old and stubborn.


People who teach future teachers would have a vested interest, and they would be the ones running the education journals.
