Abstract
The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education research still grows continuously in this decade; this study utilized the bibliometric and co-citation method to depict literature characteristics of STEM education, including distribution of journals, publication countries, subject area, most cited references and so on. The analytical data is from querying the database of Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) of ISI Web of knowledge. Data, collected in the database, could be easily analyzed to figure out the popularity of publications and impact of articles through citation indexes. This study provided the distribution of core, relevant, and marginal journal, and describe the academic trend in STEM education.
