An Analysis on Field Experiences of International Researchers

One of the important dimensions of internationalization in higher education is the contribution of researchers to their academic fields through international mobility. thus, internationalization is inseparably associated with the successful research careers of the researchers. thus, for most researchers, engaging in international activities is not a choice, but an obligation. a successful academic career requires cooperation with respected scholars and participation in international conferences frequented by significant researchers. thus, the present study aimed to determine the challenges that researchers face in international research and to examine the opportunities provided by focusing on the auto-ethnographic perspective. therefore, due to the nature of the research, several methods such as the auto-ethnographic method, a qualitative research method, were preferred in the present study. as a result, the current study, which tells the story of a researcher of internationalization who attempts to become an international researcher, includes recommendations of experienced academicians for future researchers.
