PurposeThis study aims to construct a system of indicators for measuring the internationalization of universities allowing comparative self-assessment by universities in Asia.Design/methodology/approach为了实现上述研究目的，作者进行了三次调查，并举行了专家圆桌会议讨论。为了确定衡量大学国际化的重要指标，分别在日本和亚洲进行了两次调查。此外，还对专家进行了调查，以确定亚洲大学国际化基准的有效指标。在圆桌讨论中，对各调查进行了分析，构建了国际化指标体系。结果3次调查的结果显示，日本和亚洲各国大学对53项国际化指标的重视程度，以及专家们对各指标作为基准的有效性的看法，存在着相同和不同之处。这些调查的分析导致了24个核心国际化指标分为六个关键尺寸的大学international.Originality/valueThis研究提出了一个系统的国际化指标的基础上，针对亚洲大学的实证研究分析。由此产生的系统不仅反映了学术专家的意见，也反映了其潜在的用户，在亚洲大学的管理人员的观点。它由六个国际化层面组成，有24个可管理的指标。这些指标既包括数量指标，也包括国际化活动清单，可用作数量或质量指标。
PurposeThis study aims to construct a system of indicators for measuring the internationalization of universities allowing comparative self-assessment by universities in Asia.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the aforementioned research purpose, the authors conducted three surveys and held an expert roundtable discussion. Two surveys were conducted, one in Japan and the other in Asia, to identify important indicators for measuring the internationalization of universities. Additionally, a survey of experts was conducted to identify effective indicators for benchmarking internationalization among universities in Asia. An analysis of each survey was examined during the roundtable discussion, and a system of internationalization indicators was constructed.FindingsThe three survey results showed similarities and differences between the relative importance accorded to 53 internationalization indicators by universities in Japan and in other Asian countries, as well as in the experts' perspectives on the effectiveness of each indicator for benchmarking. An analysis of those surveys resulted in 24 core internationalization indicators categorized into six key dimensions of university internationalization.Originality/valueThis study proposed a system of internationalization indicators based on an analysis of empirical research targeting universities in Asia. The resulting system reflects not only the opinions of academic experts but also the perspectives of its potential users, administrators in Asian universities. It consists of six internationalization dimensions with a manageable number of indicators, 24. These include both quantitative indicators and checklists of internationalization activities which can be used as quantitative or qualitative indicators.
