Introduction: Evaluation of medical faculty members is one of the important aspects of medical education and research in this field has been growing for many years. This study was conducted with the aim of providing a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on the evaluation of faculty of medical schools in a period of nearly seven decades.
Information Sources or Data: A bibliometric approach was used to analyze the research background of evaluation of medical school professors in the Web of Science (WOS) database.
Selection Methods for Study: The methodology included four stages of data collection, data analysis, data visualization, and data interpretation.
Combine Content and Results: A total of 348 studies published between 1957 and 2024 were analyzed. The results showed a steady growth in the number of publications over time with an annual growth rate of 5.1%. The most productive countries in terms of publications are: United States, Australia, England, Canada and Germany. The most cited publications were: Academic Medicine, BMC Medical Education and Medical Teacher. This analysis also showed that the collaboration in these studies was international and 18.68% of the studies had authors from different countries. The results show that this field is becoming increasingly active and dynamic, and every year more researchers contribute to this field. In examining the research roots, three distinct clusters emerged over time. Initially (1980-1957), studies focused on the development of evaluation methods and tools, emphasizing objective criteria and standardized tools. The next phase (1980-2000) examined the impact of evaluation on professors’ progress and student learning outcomes and revealed the relationship between evaluation, motivation, job satisfaction and student performance. More recently (2000–2024), research has examined the importance of issues such as culture, gender, race, and student opinion of faculty, showing how organizational and departmental cultures influence evaluation practices and outcomes.
Discussion: This bibliometric analysis provides an overview of the background of medical faculty evaluation research and shows the growth and trend in this field. This study demonstrates the importance of considering a wide range of factors, including motivation, participation, perception, and contextual factors, when designing and implementing evaluation programs. The results have implications for medical education and research and can inform the development of policies and practices related to faculty evaluation.
