Abstract

This work aims promoting an understanding of internationalization in higher education, as part of a broader research exploring its dimensions from the Information Science. Its aim is to identify the most significant work in this area and analyze their intellectual structure, from which reflections on the implications for the establishment of university policies are made. For this, a citation and cocitation analysis of scientific literature on the subject registered in the Scopus database and a documentary analysis of the most cited articles is performed. Multivariate analysis techniques as cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling are used. The study clusters authors and journals on topics as Concepts and models of internationalization; Intercultural communication; International mobility and migration; Neoliberalism, globalization and academic capitalism. The key aspects identified allowed reflecting on internationalization policies discussions, including the motivations and objectives of internationalization and the dichotomy between the search for international visibility and intercultural dimension.
