Introduction: Thesis juries are a group of academics or experts whose purpose is to ensure the integrity and rigor in the processes of evaluation and academic defense of theses, as well as to provide critical and constructive feedback aimed at improving their quality.
Objective: To evaluate the scientific production in the Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo databases of the thesis juries of the Faculty of Education of a public university in Peru.
Methods: Bibliometric, retrospective, and descriptive research that included 69 teachers who served as thesis juries during the period 2020-2023. The scientific production of the thesis committees was identified through the search of their publications registered in the Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo databases.
Results: 56.5% of the teachers who served as thesis juries had no scientific production registered in the Scopus, Web of Science, or Scielo databases, while 43.5% did have some scientific production in these databases. Additionally, it was found that the scientific production of the teachers was mainly based on original articles, published in Spanish, and self-financed.
Conclusions: The scientific production in the Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo databases of the thesis juries of the Faculty of Education of a public university in Peru was low. Therefore, it is imperative to implement policies aimed at strengthening their research and writing skills.
