For articles published between 2013 and 2017, the research review surveyed types of studies, forms of data collection, participant characteristics, and method references cited. Qualitative work was more common than quantitative and mixed methods, with interviews and surveys as the most common data sources. While some articles included no methodological references, the majority of articles included recent citations, dominated by methods textbooks. Administrators and administrators in training were the most common groups of participants, but other demographic details on participants were irregularly included. Overall, the qualitative research showed greater variability in data collection than the quantitative research, with details on methodological design choices and practitioner-scholarship unevenly framed within the journals.  \nKeywords: research methods; research review; educational leadership  \nICPEL Education Leadership Review, Vol. 20, No. 1– November, 2019 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2019 International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership  \nAs educational decision makers are increasingly asked to respond to and incorporate researchbased practice in their work, professors of educational leaders and new scholars in the discipline need to remain mindful of the variety of methods that are under the umbrella of academic research. The aim of this exploratory study is to document the types of methods found in articles published from 2013 to 2017 in educational leadership journals aimed at emerging school leaders and the academic community that supports them. The research goal of the present study is to explore the method choices made by researchers publishing in journals that focus on the teaching of educational leadership to gain an understanding of the state of the field regarding research methods. By gaining a precise view of the variety of methods present in these journals and how methods are discussed, academics and new scholars can recognize potential gaps in the literature and determine areas of methodological opportunity for their future research programs.  \nLiterature Review  \nHallinger (2013) noted that reviews of research methods can serve many roles for the academic community including: synthesizing knowledge, identifying gaps in the literature, and advocating for policy-making decisions. Yet Hallinger also stated that very few reviews of research in the educational leadership literature exist considering the number of overall published studies. His examination identified only 35 review articles in total over a 52-year period from nine selected peer-reviewed journals (2014), although the number of review articles appeared to be increasing as the field became more established. Concentrating on the most recent educational leadership specific studies, the following sections note what previous reviews have discovered about the types of studies and data collection methods used, the demographics of sample participants engaged, and the variety of method references cited.  \nTypes of Studies  \nHallinger and colleagues have examined the research literature on educational leadership and management across the globe. These reviews have found that across Africa (Hallinger, 2018), Latin America (Castillo & Hallinger, 2018), and Asia (Hallinger & Bryan, 2013) over 70% of articles published were empirical, as opposed to theoretical or commentary. In Africa, quantitative methods were used most commonly, while the majority of studies in Latin America and Asia used qualitative means. In all regions, mixed methods studies were the smallest group.
