Mapping the Landscape of Internationalization of Higher Education in India: A Bibliometric Study of Trends and Patterns
摘要
The globalization, technological advancements, and educational reform agendas have made the internationalization of higher education a crucial aspect of contemporary academia. In India, the implementation of the New Education Policy (NEP) in 2020 marked a significant turning point, indicating a strategic shift toward fostering international collaborations, promoting academic mobility, and strengthening educational quality standards (Jain & Mishra 2023). The study utilizes bibliometric analysis of a wide range of academic databases Scopus between 2014 and 2024 to encompass the extensive scope of scholarly contributions to the internationalization discourse within Indian higher education. Relevant keywords such as “internationalization” “higher education” “India” guide the exploration of this vast landscape. By meticulously curating metadata from retrieved publications, this analysis uncovers the intricate tapestry of scholarly endeavors. It captures crucial elements such as publication titles, author attributions, publication years, and journal and keyword distributions. This comprehensive collection of bibliographic data serves as the foundation for subsequent analytical pursuits. The study examines the academic discussion on the globalization of higher education in India, using bibliometric techniques, such as collecting data from scholarly databases and visualization software, this research carefully analyzes trends in publications, authorship patterns, citation networks, and thematic focuses in this academic field. By studying these aspects, the study offers detailed perspectives on the changing landscape of internationalization efforts in higher education and identifies key areas for further research and policy development. Utilizing advanced bibliometric techniques, particularly through the utilization of visualization tools like R Studio and VOSviewer, this investigation navigates through the complex realm of scholarly outputs, identifying observable patterns and trends that define the landscape of internationalization research in Indian higher education.
