description This study was conducted to present a holistic perspective on the research on evidence-based teaching in science education (EBTiSE) and to provide guidance to the field so that educators and researchers can easily access resources and authors. This study aimed to determine the trend of research on EBTiSE by focusing on evidence-based teaching. For this purpose, the bibliometric analysis method was utilized. Thus, it was aimed to reveal the structure and development of the research topic. The study accessed 218 publications published between 2000 and 2024 from the Web of Science (WoS) database. VOSviewer software was used to analyze these data bibliometrics. As a result of the research, it was determined that publications related to EBTiSE have been published regularly since 2000 and peaked with 21 publications in 2020-2021. The USA ranks first in the countries with the most publications on EBTiSE. It was determined that the highest number of publications on EBTiSE was in the "International Journal of Science Education." The most frequently used keywords in the studies were "science education," "professional development," and "argumentation." In recent studies, key concepts such as science teacher education, undergraduate research, early childhood, scientific literacy, educational technology, etc., are frequently mentioned. According to the citation network analysis, Wu and Tsai (2007), Dawson and Venville (2010), Zembal-Saul et al. (2002), Oliver and Hannafin (2000), and Brown et al. (2010) emerged as the primary sources of the subject area. The article titled “Establishing the Norms of Scientific Argumentation in Classrooms" was found to have the highest number of common citations. The results obtained by utilizing visual maps in this study will contribute to other original studies to be conducted in the field of EBTiSE.
