Abstract
The educational potential of blogs is currently being recognized more and more. Blogs can be used for collaborative projects, peer reviews, and group discussions. Blogging about a trendy interesting subject or topic creates an engaging platform for the blogger and the reader. Blogging for higher institutions encourages self-expression, critical thinking, creativity, and learning, and promotes resource sharing between students and teachers. This is a bibliometric research to measure the quantity and quality output of researchers, institutions, and countries; identify international collaboration; and map emerging multidisciplinary fields of science and technology. The results show growth in HEIs blogging, but the identified growth was found to be unstable.
