Estrategias de internacionalización en la educación superior: un análisis bibliométrico

In the last decades, internationalization has represented a significant disruptive force for higher education, impacting teaching, research, and service provisions in many countries. Higher education institutions (HEIs) have contributed positively to the renewal of society and the development of the economy and productivity, facing the challenges of an increasingly interdependent and competitive global setting, which requires to enhance the international dimension of education and training policies. Due to the growing demand for a greater international view, HEIs must examine the ways in which they are acommodating through their own planning and development processes, taking in both the range of international activities and the elaboration and/or reformulation of the fundamental missions of teaching, research and service. As a result, universities explore and identify various overarching models or common approaches used by institutions to create a typology of institutional strategies for internationalization, which can serve as a guide for the institution's future international initiatives. The study explores the internationalization strategies of higher education from the bibliometrics of data collected in the Web of Science (WoS). The survey was conducted in October 2023 and analyzes 905 texts, from 2000 to 2021. The amount of data acquired emphasizes the subject's importance in scientific research. Additionally, other influential authors, institutions, and countries are mentioned in the research on internationalization of higher education. The study's progression over time illustrates the growing focus that has been occurring over the years on the subject.
