Abstract

This paper discusses the various student satisfaction studies carried out in the context of higher education and its meta- analysis. To achieve this objective, 172 studies linked to student satisfaction were identified from Web of Science, and bibliometric analysis was done on the same. The papers were examined to determine the nature of the study and the dimensions studied by the authors. Various analyses like keyword, citations, author, etc. were carried out, and conclusions were drawn from the same. This study will aid future researchers in having an idea about the nature of studies carried out in the past and how-to extent it further.
