Özet:

 Objective: This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination OSCE in dental education to evaluate global trends and academic productivity. It investigates the distribution of scientific output, the most prolific institutions, authors, and journals, along with the most frequently used keywords and highly cited publications. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science database using the keywords OSCE and Dental Education. Bibliometric data were retrieved using the Analyze Results and Citation Analysis tools. Co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence networks were visualized with VOSviewer software. The number of publications, distribution by country and institution, citation counts, and keyword frequency were analyzed. Results: A total of 112 publications were included. The leading countries were the USA, UK, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Scotland. Harvard University and the University of London were the most productive institutions. Most OSCE-related articles were published in the European Journal of Dental Education and the Journal of Dental Education. Besides OSCE and Dental Education, common keywords included assessment, objective structured clinical examination, and dental students. The most cited paper was a 2008 review on predoctoral education practices. Conclusion: This study offers a comprehensive overview of OSCE-related literature in dental education. It helps identify research trends, key contributors, and potential gaps, providing valuable insights for ongoing academic development and evidence-based education.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, diş hekimliği eğitiminde kullanılan OSCE üzerine bibliyometrik bir analiz yaparak küresel eğilimleri ve akademik üretimi değerlendirmektir. Yapılan araştırmalara ilişkin bilimsel üretimin dağılımını, en çok yayın yapan kurum, yazar ve dergileri belirlemek, en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeleri ve en çok atıf alan makaleleri açıklamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Web of Science veritabanı kullanılarak kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapıldı. OSCE ve Dental Education anahtar kelimeleri kullanıldı. Web of Scienceın Analyze Results ve Citation Analysis araçları aracılığıyla bibliyometrik veriler çıkarıldı. Ortak yazarlık ve anahtar kelime oluşumuna ilişkin bibliyometrik ağlar, VOSviewer yazılım aracı kullanılarak gösterildi. Çalışmada yayımlanan makale sayısı, ülke ve kurum bazında dağılımı, atıf sayıları ve en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Analize toplam 112 makale dahil edildi. En fazla yayın yapan ülkeler Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, İngiltere, Almanya, Suudi Arabistan ve İskoçya olarak belirlendi. En üretken kurumlar arasında Harvard Üniversitesi ve Londra Üniversitesi öne çıktı. OSCE ile ilgili incelenen yayınların büyük bir kısmı European Journal of Dental Education ve Journal of Dental Education dergilerinde yayımlandı. OSCE ve Dental Education dışında en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler assessment, objective structured clinical examination ve dental students olarak belirlendi. En çok atıf alan makale ise 2008 yılında yayımlandı. Sonuçlar: Bu araştırmada literatürün bütüncül bir analizi elde edildi. Çalışma, diş hekimliği eğitiminde OSCE ile ilgili literatür taramasını kolaylaştırmakta ve akademisyenlerin sürekli eğitimine, kanıta dayalı uygulamalara katkıda bulunabilecek önemli noktaları ortaya koymaktadır.
