This study aimed to perform a systematic mapping of  \nthe trends in research studies on teacher educators through the  \nbibliometric data obtained from the Web of Science database. The  \nbibliometric analysis led to four substantial findings: (1) research on  \nteacher educators is an emerging field of educational studies that  \nhave experienced a progressive increase since the 2000s; (2)  \nscientific publications in this field are produced by a small group of  \nresearchers from the USA, Australia, Canada, several European, and  \nfew Asian countries through collaborative research networks; (3)  \nresearch on teacher educators is primarily spread in general teacher  \neducation journals; (4) the main topics regarding teacher educator  \nresearch area are: professional development, professional identity,  \nworks, and practices.  \nKeywords: Teacher educators, bibliometric analysis, Price’s law, Lotka’s law, collaborative networks  \nIntroduction  \nTeacher educators (TEs) are often described as “teachers of teachers”(Lanier & Little, 1986, p. 528), and broadly speaking, there are two main groups ofTEs (Dengerink et al., 2015) . The first group refers to induction tutors and mentors working in schools with a responsibility to support on-the-job training as part of practicum work for preservice teachers. The second group is the academics positioned in higher education institutions with a responsibility for teacher qualifications, continuous professional development, research or subject studies, and didactics (Dengerink et al., 2015) . Mentoring and practicum processes have long received considerable research attention (e.g., Lawson et al., 2015) . However, studies on university-based TEs have remained rather limited until recently (Castro, Superfine & Li, 2014) . Due to the lack of research attention, TEs have long remained an underexplored and undertheorized research area. Therefore, teacher educators are often described as ‘hidden’ and least understood professionals (Livingston, 2014; Murray & Male, 2005) . The realization of this deficiency led the teacher education community to pay more attention to the group of TEs, which has eventually emerged as a research area (Tack et al., 2018) . Studies in this research area have attended to a variety of issues. Broader categories of  \nresearch interests involve TEs’ academic, educational, and research profiles (Bouckaert & Kools, 2018; Murray & Male, 2005); transition process to the profession (Allen et al., 2016; Murray & Male, 2005) prof","cbCainfEyowm2QF7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainfEyowm2QF7","pdf",690516,21,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Conceptualizing teacher educators\n## Growth of the research area and review challenges","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this study on teacher educators?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to systematically map trends in teacher educator research using bibliometric data from the Web of Science database.\"},{\"question\":\"What data source and method does the research use?\",\"answer\":\"It uses bibliometric analysis based on studies indexed in the Web of Science database to identify patterns and trends.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key findings about where and how teacher educator research is produced?\",\"answer\":\"The field has grown progressively since the 2000s, output is produced by a small group of researchers across several countries through collaborative networks, and publications are mainly in general teacher education journals.\"}]","Teacher Educators: A Bibliometric Mapping of an Emerging Research Area - Article 3 | PDF",1792078555,53]
