Scientometrics, as a measurement of scientific production, connects researches together and drives education research to new rigorous standards. Scientometrics can be used as a measurement as well as a guide to address current and neglected issues. In this regard, the primary purpose of this paper is to analyze and elaborate education policy and management issues utilizing the scientific research in the SCIELO publications between 2012-2015 of 15 countries. Education policy and management issues are organized and summarized in a scientific frequency index. This index allows identifying countries with the lowest risk and highest stability such as; Bolivia, Brazil, and Uruguay. Equally, the index identifies countries with the highest risk and lowest stability such as; Peru and South Africa. This warrants the need to establish education policy and management standards employing scientific measurement. Equally, it opens the need for scientometrics research and establishing criteria for the decision making process.
