Particular hopes have always been placed on the potential of scientists because they
can act as a driving force for effective government. Understanding the importance of
scientists ensured progress and prosperity for leading civilizations. This study aims to
identify an evolutionary-chronological, geographical, and contextual scientific landscape of the development and management of the potential of scientists through a
comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Initially, 5619 publications in the Scopus database were selected from 1957 to 2023. The evolution of knowledge about the importance of public administration of scientific personnel began in 1957 and reached its
peak in 2019. Authors from the USA, Great Britain, and Australia have published more
about the significance of managing the potential of scientific personnel, and strong
schools of knowledge about scientific personnel are concentrated in the USA, France,
Canada, and Australia. The analysis of the research’s conceptual orientation shows that
publications in environmental and social sciences dominate this sphere. In addition,
the bibliometric analysis results show that public management of scientific personnel
will bring benefits such as effective government policy decisions, increased innovation activity, commercialization, and improvement of the population’s social life. The
results of this study lay the foundation for future research that should improve the
management of scientific personnel’s potential.
