Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is showing the distribution of geographical affiliation of the members of editorial boards, selected 10 highest ranked journals from Eastern Europe, from the Education area, according to the SCImago Journal Rank index, in 2018. Bibliometric was chosen as the method of measuring the potential of the analysed journals. In addition, the analysis of existing sources was used. Data from the SCImago portal show that from the 10 selected journals there were: 3 Russian, 2 Polish, Lithuanian and Slovenian periodicals and 1 Serbian journal. The number of editorial boards members varied and ranged from 13 to 54 people. All the members of the above-mentioned editorial boards were 357, and they came from 55 countries in total, including, to the greatest extent, from Europe (71.75%), then from Asia (12.53%), North America (8.55%), Australia and Oceania (2.63%), South America (1,97%), and Central America and Africa (1.31% each).
