Therefore, the assessment of universities is very important in terms of internationalization. The purpose of this study was to identify the indicators of internationalization assessment for medical universities in a logical framework. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="text-justify:kashida"><span style="text-kashida:0%"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal">&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Methods:</b> The reporting of this scoping review conforms to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Review checklist (PRISMA- ScR).&nbsp; Articles were retrieved through the search of related keywords in databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar from January 2000 to October 2021 and by searching the references of retrieved articles. After applying the inclusion criteria, 36 papers were selected from a total of 1264.

Most indicators have been classified in the &ldquo;Education&rdquo; dimension (n=40) which consists of 6 inputs, 14 processes and 20 Outputs. The &ldquo;Research&rdquo; dimension consists of 3 inputs, 9 processes and 12 Outputs, and the &ldquo;Management&rdquo; dimension consists of 13 inputs, 16 processes and 9 Outputs.&nbsp; </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="text-justify:kashida"><span style="text-kashida:0%"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal">&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Conclusion:</b> There is no single set of target indicators for the internationalization of all medical universities. Therefore, the selection of target indicators for medical universities to proceed toward internationalization depends on the strengths and weaknesses of universities in each dimension, as well as the feasibility of further ambition according to the national context. Also, the identified indicators are mainly in the four areas of facilities management, visibility, marketing, and networking. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> Internationalization, Indicator, Medical University, Higher Education, Scoping Review 819 830 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-7436-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Azadeh Ahmadzadeh Ghasab azadehahmadzadeh67@gmail.com 200319475328460072594 200319475328460072594 No Department of Health Management and Economics, Faculty of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mohammad Arab arabmoha@tums.ac.ir 200319475328460072595 200319475328460072595 Yes Department of Health Management and Economics, Faculty of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Ali Mohammad Mosadeghrad mosadeghrad@tums.ac.ir 200319475328460072596 200319475328460072596 No Department of Health Management and Economics, Faculty of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Ramin Kordi ramin_kordi@tums.ac.ir 200319475328460072597 200319475328460072597 No Sports Medicine Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
