Abstract: International branch campuses (IBCs) are gaining popularity among students, institutions, and countries worldwide. Despite the significant interest in this field, few studies have reviewed and analyzed the IBC research landscape. This scientometric analysis examines 173 articles related to IBCs that have been published in the Web of Science Core Collection. The aim is to systematically trace the development, contributors, and topics of IBC research. Through this analysis, researchers can gain insights into the diversified and balanced advancement of IBC research. The study also explores the academic power dynamics underlying IBC research and provides recommendations for future research. Overall, this analysis provides a scientific map for researchers to review IBC research and better understand this field.
