Abstract

This study presents a decade-long bibliometric and thematic analysis (2014–2024) on international student mobility (ISM) and digital inclusion in higher education, drawing data from Scopus-indexed journals. Using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, the study identifies dominant research patterns, top contributing countries, and evolving themes. The results show sustained growth in ISM and digital transformation research, with thematic shifts toward AI-based hybrid education, virtual mobility, and social inclusion. The study integrates 30 peer-reviewed sources and underscores how digital inclusion aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). Findings highlight the necessity of inclusive digital infrastructure to support equitable global mobility in higher education.
