ABSTRACT
This paper aimed to examine higher education institutions, classroom environment, the role of teacher, and student academic performance using bibliometric analysis from 2001 to 2020. The main aim was to consolidate the published researches on the students’ academic performance in higher education in the Web of Science indexed documents. There was a lack of quantitative measurements on the subject. We used the bibliometric method and a total of 2797 published documents were found. The study findings showed that the topic of ‘higher education institutions’ was on top with a total number of 2210 publications, 1822 articles as a type of published documents, 2447 publications in English, and a considerable increase in publications as per years were found. The top author named Lepori B was found with 202 citations and 13 articles started from 2007. Similarly, the University of Aveiro was on top organizations out of 2609, United States (US) on top out of 126 countries, and higher education as a keyword out of 6497. The Journal of Cleaner Production placed at top of sources out of 1551, and Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology as a top funding agency. Furthermore, the trend of data is described in tables and figures.
