Abstract: This bibliometric analysis examines research trends and keyword evolution, highlighting its significance in the field of skills-based scheduling. The primary aim of this study is to assess citation, publication and international collaboration trends, identify key authors, most cited papers, productive journal and keyword co-occurrence trends and evolution. In order to achieve this, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science database, focusing on English articles that contain keywords of “skills-based scheduling†within the years 1978 to 2023. The analysis was performed utilizing bibliometric tools such as Publish or Perish, Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer. The results reveal that out of the 2,426 articles initially retrieved from the period 1978 and 2023, only 1666 met the study’s inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that the United States leads in publication output, contributing 20.57% of all articles, with Nicola J. Hodges identified as the most influential author in the field. The BMC Medical Education journal emerged as the most productive journal, publishing 18 articles with a total of 207 citations. Furthermore, keyword co-occurrence analysis shows a significant evolution, growing from 40 keywords to 6,061 over 45 years. These insights provide a valuable roadmap for future researchers, highlighting existing gaps in the literature and offering guidance for developing research strategies and collaborations.
