General Background: Intellectual capital plays a pivotal role in enhancing the performance and competitiveness of universities, influencing their reputation and success. Specific Background: While much research has been conducted on intellectual capital, its relationship with university performance remains a topic of ongoing inquiry, requiring comprehensive bibliometric analysis to identify trends and knowledge gaps. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have often focused narrowly on intellectual capital without a holistic consideration of university performance metrics, leaving room for further exploration. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between intellectual capital and university performance by analyzing publications indexed in Scopus from 2014 to 2023, using bibliometric analysis to uncover trends, authorship patterns, country contributions, and keyword usage. Results: The analysis of 211 publications revealed that Italy and Indonesia are the leading countries in this field, with "Secundo-Giustina" being the most prolific author and "Dumay J." receiving the most citations. "Journal of Intellectual Capital" is the most frequent source of publication, and the most cited institution is Universita degli Studi di Salerno. The most prevalent keywords are "intellectual capital," "human capital," and "higher education." Novelty: This study is one of the few to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of intellectual capital in relation to university performance, offering a detailed overview of existing research trends and contributions. Implications: The findings suggest the need for future research to broaden the scope beyond intellectual capital, incorporating more comprehensive university performance indicators. This study offers valuable insights for scholars and policymakers to better understand the role of intellectual capital in higher education and to identify emerging research opportunities
