Student Organisations: State of the Art and Perspectives for Future Research

Iwona Michałowska, Ewa Więcek-Janka, Ada Domańska

Abstract


Theoretical background: The management of student organisations is still unexplored and full of issues requiring an in-depth analysis. Along with the development and unification of management processes at universities, matters related to students’ pro-academic activities assume new significance and often require revision and proper ordering.

Purpose of the article: This article presents the results of the bibliometric analysis of developing issues related to student organisations.

Research methods: The primary reference points are journals and publications released in the Web of Science database in 1900–2022. The obtained data were used to perform bibliometric analysis, including the number of publications, authorship and co-authorship, citations, publishing journals, thematic categories, institutions, countries and keywords. The research drew from 506 publications related to the analysed subject, whose citation frequency amounted to 4,548.

Main findings: The bibliometric analysis performed showed that the priority of the issues addressed about student organisations is not only the development and improvement of their classifications but also broadly defined ethnic groups and their membership in relevant bodies. There was also no shortage of issues related to LGBT-oriented groups as centres for self acceptance. However, other essential elements, such as the management of student organisations, are missing from the topics covered. This research gap in the administrative field reveals the extent to which the topic of student organisations is a topic and area that is underexplored and unexplored.
