Using the citation index for the social sciences I checked to see how many times publications and presentations from a given year were cited in published sources.  In the period from completing my doctorate to 2006, a total of 1594 citations have occurred (approximately 26 a year) with articles published in 1987, 1990 and 1993 being most often cited.  These data source for this analysis is the Social Science Citation Index (ISI).

The citations of three edited volumes show that these works made a significant impact in science education.  Using data from the Social Science Citation Index the Fraser & Tobin International Handbook of Science Education was cited 512 times.  The Practice of Constructivism was cited 264 times and Windows into Science Classrooms (with Kahle and Fraser) was cited 93 times.

One of my chapters in the Gabel 1994 Handbook of Research on Science Teaching and Learning was cited 89 times in the ISI database and 178 times on Google Scholar.  I mention this as evidence of the relatively higher citations obtained from Google Scholar.
