AB  - The first issue of the Malaysian Journal of Distance Education 
  (MJDE) was published in 1999. After a decade of publication, there is a need 
  to evaluate its performance in certain areas subject area covered, authorship, 
  circulation, its visibility in international databases, acceptance among scholars 
  and some other issues. A total of 21 issue of the journal published during a 
  decade between 1999-2009 were used as the research material. The study revealed 
  that in ten years, MJDE has covered a wide range of topics under the main theme 
  of distance education through contributions from many countries. Its acceptance 
  among scholars in distance education is unquestionable but its visibility in 
  international databases is rather poor. This study examines the strengths and 
  weaknesses of MJDE in the last 10 years of its publication.
