Abstract

The productivity of a specific research field hinges on the periodic examination of both the knowledge produced and the knowledge production activities. By harnessing the strength of traditional bibliometric analyses and a variety of Natural language processing (NLP) techniques, this study portrayed a holistic landscape of higher education internationalisation (HEI) research that incorporated time and region through a spatial lens. The findings reveal the field's evolution into establishment, significant regional variations in research focus, and the expansion of networks for disseminating knowledge. These factors collectively contribute to a diverse ‘lived’ space of HEI research. However, the dominance of Western-centric key concepts, theories, and discourses highlights a homogenous ‘conceived’ space, pointing to an underlying tension between these spaces. Despite these challenges, opportunities for breakthroughs exist. Additionally, the study underscores the immense potential of NLP techniques in facilitating the exploration of how research fields evolve, further enriching our understanding of HEI.

通过自然语言处理 (NLP) 技术将高等教育国际化描绘成一个研究空间
特定研究领域的生产力取决于对知识生产和知识生产活动的定期检查。本研究利用传统文献计量学分析和各种自然语言处理(NLP)技术的优势,通过空间视角描绘了高等教育国际化(HEI)研究的整体景观,并将时间和地区纳入其中。研究结果揭示了该领域的发展历程、研究重点的重大地区差异以及知识传播网络的扩展。这些因素共同促成了高等院校研究的多样化 "生活 "空间。然而,以西方为中心的关键概念、理论和论述的主导地位凸显了同质化的 "构想 "空间,表明这些空间之间存在潜在的紧张关系。尽管存在这些挑战,但突破的机会依然存在。此外,本研究强调了 NLP 技术在促进探索研究领域如何演变方面的巨大潜力,进一步丰富了我们对高等院校的理解。

期刊介绍: To broaden the discourse on the role of international cooperation and exchange in developing the human capacity to work in a global setting, the Journal of Studies in International Education provides a forum combining the research of scholars, models from practitioners in the public or private sector, and essays. The journal publishes research, essays, and reviews on international education. Articles place issues at the primary, secondary, higher education, professional exchange, and lifelong learning levels in a global context. Topics include: study abroad; curriculum reform; faculty development; and development assistance. Articles on related topics such as public policy and internationalization strategies also appear in the Journal.
