This visualization makes public studies collected as part of a rigorous review on the impact of COVID-19 on the internationalization of higher education. Our analysis examined the short-term impact of COVID-19 on internationalization, spanning March 2020-August 2021. In total, we identified 158 publications, including peer-reviewed academic articles, magazines, newspapers and book chapters that met our inclusion criteria. We then coded each publication based on its publication type, country or region of focus, internationalization domain or activity, and emergent key themes.
