Characterizing the literature on validity and assessment in medical education: a  bibliometric study

DiscussionLiterature reporting on validation of assessments in medical education is heterogeneous. Literature is produced by a  broad array of authors and collaborative networks, reported to a broad audience, and is primarily generated in North American and European contexts. Our findings speak to the heterogeneity of the medical education literature on assessment validation, and suggest that this heterogeneity may stem, at least in part, from differences in constructs measured, assessment purposes, or conceptualizations of validity.
