Abstract Against the background of internationalization, Chinese scholars are publishing a growing number of international papers and increasingly enhancing their communication and collaboration with researchers abroad in the domain of Library and Information Science (LIS). Will this lead to the homogeneity of research? With the articles indexed in Web of Science (WoS) from 1999 to 2018, this study employs the Country Bibliographic Coupling (CBC) and Country Keyword Coupling (CKC) methods to measure the research similarities between China and other countries/regions, and compare their indicators from multiple dimensions. Results indicate that the annual values of CBC and CKC strength display the overall obvious upward and slight downward trends, respectively. However, both the CBC and CKC indicators between China and the most productive countries have displayed significant homogeneity over the past two decades. These findings arouse some reflections and concerns about academic discourse during the process of internationalization. Subsequently, opportunities and challenges encountered by Chinese LIS scholars are discussed.
