Research on online faculty professional development (OFPD) in higher education has increased in recent years. As there is, nevertheless, a scarcity of quantitative investigations on research publications in this area, a bibliometric analysis of 248 publications collected from the Scopus database was conducted. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer software tools were used for descriptive and network analyses. The research results showed that the overall trend of publication in this domain increased steadily at an annual growth rate of 14.11% during the past 25 years. and ranked the highest among journals with regard to publication number and citation number, respectively. With a total of 298 citations to his paper, Peter Shea was ranked the most impactful author while Maria Northcote, with five publications, was the most productive. In terms of geographical location of research activity, America played the leading role, with Asia emerging in this field. The publication entitled "" by Dede et al. topped the list for both total citations and average yearly citations. As to recent trends, teacher professional development through online teaching was emergent partly due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Pedagogy training, online community building, and facilitating online teachers were the themes that researchers favored. The study will contribute toward better understanding of the existing literary landscape of research on OFPD given the potential of OFPD in enhancing faculty's effectiveness in their classrooms and over the course of their teaching careers.
近年来，高等教育领域关于在线教师专业发展（OFPD）的研究有所增加。然而，由于该领域研究出版物的定量调查较少，因此对从Scopus数据库收集的248篇出版物进行了文献计量分析。使用Biblioshiny和VOSviewer软件工具进行描述性分析和网络分析。研究结果表明，在过去25年中，该领域的出版物总体趋势以14.11%的年增长率稳步增长。[具体期刊名称1]和[具体期刊名称2]在发表数量和被引次数方面分别位居期刊之首。彼得·谢伊的论文被引总数为298次，他被评为最具影响力的作者，而发表了五篇论文的玛丽亚·诺斯科特则是产量最高的作者。在研究活动的地理位置方面，美国发挥了主导作用，亚洲也在这一领域崭露头角。迪德等人发表的题为《[论文标题]》的出版物在总被引次数和年均被引次数方面均位居榜首。至于近期趋势，由于新冠疫情的爆发，通过在线教学进行教师专业发展的情况部分出现。教学法培训、在线社区建设以及为在线教师提供便利是研究人员青睐的主题。鉴于在线教师专业发展在提高教师课堂教学效果和整个教学生涯中的潜力，该研究将有助于更好地理解该领域现有研究的文献状况。
