Abstract This paper systematically reviews recent literatures on academic inbreeding,focusing on its definition,causes and potential impacts.The causes of academic inbreeding include individual motivation,institutional and national context.Also,there are many empirical studies aiming to reveal the impacts of academic inbreeding on scholars’ research outputs,career development,and the development of a university as well as the national academic system.However,there is no consensus among extant studies on how to define academic inbreeding,which leads to the debates on the pros and cons of academic inbreeding on the individual level.Therefore,this study puts forward two specific prospects for future research.One is to analyze the phenomenon of academic inbreeding from a dynamic perspective; the other is to reveal the selection mechanism behind the phenomenon of academic inbreeding.
