a Summary, etc Anadolu University, in Turkey and Athabasca University, in Canada, and are two universities publishing the open source journals Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education (TOJDE) and Internal Review of Research of Open and Distance Learning (IRRODL) respectively. They are both open source journals which have been published since 2000. Moreover, a high percentage of the full-text articles searched on the internet with the keyword "Distance Education" is found to be from TOJDE and IRRODL. Up-to-date information about the distance education keywords, distance education authors and document types is presented, as well as the settings in which research has been conducted by reviewing articles from January 2000 to February 2009 in these two distance education journals. Significant results were obtained as a result of careful investigation of 813 documents of these journals. Researchers have interesting conclusions such as: In 2002 the number of documents published in IRRODL was about seven times more than the number of documents published in TOJDE. Terry Anderson is the first-ranked author in IRRODL and the first ranked author in TOJDE is Aytekin man. The first ranked keyword is "Distance Education" which has a frequency four times more in TOJDE, than in IRRODL. This research study claims to be the first and a unique study reviewing two open source journals over a period of 10 years. There should be more open source journals published like TOJDE and IRRODL to give researchers the power they need to conduct more qualified researches in distance education: If knowledge is a power why keep it secret?
