Abstract

Intercultural competence research focuses on the study of intercultural communication competence as a result of the increasingly interconnected world we live in. In order to have a better understanding of this knowledge domain, a total number of 583 English peer-reviewed articles were obtained from the Core Collection of Web of Science indexed by Social Science Citation Index as well as Science Citation Index Expanded from 2002 to 2022. This bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace is conducted and visualization approaches are used to show the publication trends, major contributing countries, journals, authors, references and hotspots in this domain. Using a graphical to visualize ICC literature in this study might be beneficial for researchers and scholars to track the development of ICC research.
