Abstract
With a focus on bibliometric analysis, this study intends to analyze the patterns in the literature regarding knowledge sharing and student development. To find studies that were specifically focused on the topic under research, the authors searched Scopus using the Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT, together with the terms "knowledge sharing" and "student development," as well as their synonyms. In general, the study did not take the publication date into account. There were 1,154 documents in total in the final data set. The data were analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer software based on R. The use of bibliometric analysis to examine the connection between knowledge sharing and student development revealed several themes, influential authors, highly cited papers, prominent organizations and powerful nations. In addition, the study showed how the relationship between knowledge sharing and student development has changed over time and how it may interact with student performance to give educational institutions a long-term competitive advantage. To the author's knowledge, this study is the first to conduct a bibliometric analysis on knowledge sharing and student development. This study can be a starting point for scholars interested in understanding how knowledge sharing can relate to student development.
