| Sumario: | In recent years, several bibliometric evaluations covering various clinical specialties in dentistry have been carried out. However, there are no recent reports in the area of education. The aim of this brief report is to describe the bibliometric profile of dental education journals included in the Web of Science databases (ISI). A bibliometric study of the two dental education journals included in the Science Citation Index expanded database from Web of Science was conducted. Analyze results and Citation Report tools were used to consider the following variables for the total of articles by journal: amount of papers, publication year, affiliated organizations and countries, keywords, number of citations and most cited articles. A total of 1,279 articles were analyzed: Journal of Dental Education (JDE) with 956 papers (74.75%) and European Journal of Dental Education (EJDE) with 323 paperss (25.25%). The United States had the largest number of articles (695), mainly in JDE, and England (110) in EJDE. Consistently, American institutions have the highest productivity in the area. The more used keywords were learning and curriculum. Given the influence that dental education has in all the areas of the profession, it is necessary to further investigate and focus on the quality of research in this area. |
