Abstract

This article systematically analyzes international academic literature data from 1974 to 2024, revealing the systematic efforts by Indian scholars to mislabel China's Southern Tibet region as "Arunachal Pradesh" within the international academic community and their attempts to treat it as Indian territory. The study finds that the phenomenon of “academically eroding sovereignty” is a result of Indian scholars deliberately introducing the false term “Arunachal Pradesh” into various academic publications. This attempt is made to mislead international researchers, leading to the mistaken belief that the region is an administrative division in northeastern India. This practice aims to distort historical facts and international law through continuous academic strategies, thereby infringing upon China's sovereignty. The research employs bibliometric methods to analyze 1,658 documents related to "Arunachal Pradesh," discussing trends in publication volume, author characteristics, citation patterns, document types, and funding sources. This analysis provides valuable insights into the academic landscape surrounding the disputed region. The study also emphasizes the importance of international cooperation, funding models, research fields, and other relevant aspects. It calls for strengthened decision-making and international collaboration to effectively resolve the China-India border disputes.
