Abstract: Identification of the various methods of measuring faculty research success stands in need of better collection and summary. This study aimed to identify the measures and factors of faculty research success through a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. Using the Boolean search, 265 studies (i.e., articles and dissertations) from four popular databases were selected for abstract screening. Thirty-six studies were selected for full-text text review, which ranged over 237,980 faculty of STEM and non-STEM areas from 29 countries. The results indicated that faculty research success is measured through several forms of academic publication including number of articles published in journals, conference proceedings, books, book chapters, textbooks, edited books, monographs, technical reports, citations, and h-index. Faculty research success was related to demographic, job, institutional, and psychosocial factors. These findings will help future researchers identify how faculty research success has been measured, also suggesting what supports are needed for researchers to become more successful.
