Background:
Cyberincivility, encompassing disruptive and aggressive behaviors online, adversely impacts learning environments, academic integrity, and the well-being of students and educators.
Purpose:
This study examined cybercivility research in health professions education to identify trends and key studies.
Methods:
A bibliometric study was conducted using the Web of Science database to retrieve peer-reviewed articles on cybercivility in health professions education published between 2004 and 2024.
Results:
A total of 193 publications were identified, with significant growth from 2021 to 2024. The USA led in research output. Key themes included social media use, digital professionalism, and ethics. Interdisciplinary collaborations were primarily concentrated in North America, Europe, and Asia, while Africa and Latin America remained underrepresented.
Conclusions:
Cybercivility is essential for fostering ethical digital interactions in health professions. However, notable research gaps persist in allied health fields and underrepresented regions. Future research should examine the influence of emerging technologies on digital professionalism.
