Abstract: This paper uses bibliometric methods to examine the knowledge network underpinning the Education for All initiative. Specifically, through an analysis of the references listed in the Education for All Global Monitoring Reports (EFA GMRs) published between 2002 and 2015, this paper focuses on the elite group of 89 authors referenced 10 or more times across the report series, and the underlying patterns of influence wielded by these authors over the EFA GMR knowledge network. This study contributes new insight into global trends in knowledge production and dissemination in this field, and highlights the value of bibliometric approaches in helping us better understand the increasingly complex and interconnected intellectual structure informing and shaping the global education agenda.
