| description | Research background: Research background: The evolving opportunities of studies at foreign universities and the geographical expansion of the labour market create the need of facilitating a process of adapting students to studying and working. Despite a rapid increase in the number of international students in the higher education sector, little is known about their adaptation.
Purpose of the article: The aim is to point out the topicality and importance of the issue of adaptation of foreign students in the globalizing world in the form of the bibliometric analysis of scientific publications.
Methods: We use a combination of methods: setting parameter search by keywords, number of citations and publications, their segmentation, as defined by classification disciplines, and graphical analysis. The sample used consists of articles from WoS - Core Collection.
Findings & Value added: The findings of this study have important implications for universities and educators in relation to helping students in their pursuit of academic and work success. The results provide a broader view of the research continuum and the publishing trends, in the domain of the adaptation process of students studying at foreign universities. |
