This study explores higher education research in A sia. Drawing on scientometrics, the mapping of science and social network analysis, this paper examines the publications of 38 specialised journals on higher education over the past three decades. The findings indicate a growing number of higher education research publications but the proportion of A sian publications in relation to the total world publications in higher education research remains stationary. The higher education research community in A sia is heavily concentrated in a few countries and universities, resting on a relatively small number of core scholars who publish research in the international specialised higher education journals. In response to increasing challenges in A sian higher education systems, the paper suggests that the higher education research community in A sia needs to be expanded and include more regional and international collaborations
