University Governance, University, Higher Education, Literature Review, Bibliometric AnalysisAbstract
Access to information presents the challenge of organizing the vast available knowledge. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of publications on university governance indexed in Scopus. Keywords "Governance" and "University" were used to select 20 high-impact journals (SJR). A total of 543 publications were analyzed to identify themes, authors, theories, and trends, using VOSviewer to analyze authorship networks, keywords, and country collaborations. The most prolific journals were Studies in Higher Education and Higher Education, with 201 publications in total. The number of articles increased significantly since 2013, with 2020 being the year of highest production. Francisco Ganga-Contreras from Chile was the author with the most publications (27), and Ka Ho Mok from Hong Kong was the most cited (232 citations). Co-authorship analysis showed Ganga-Contreras as a central figure among Latin American authors. In terms of citations, Mok, de Boer, and Shattock led, with the most cited article by Bleiklie and Kogan (193 citations). In terms of country collaboration, the United States stood out as a key player, with strong links to Europe and Asia. The most frequent keywords were 'university governance' and 'higher education,' highlighting topics such as academic autonomy and corporate governance.
