Student career counseling: A bibliometric review (1985-2022)
Abstract
Career counseling is a process that helps individuals identify and explore career options, make informed decisions about their future, and develop strategies for choosing a suitable career path. It also helps students enhance their academic experience by providing them with the opportunity to apply the theoretical learning acquired in the classroom in a pre-professional work environment, and to recognize the hurdles and requirements in their career path. Hence, there is a growing recognition of the importance of undertaking research into the development of counseling in students’ lives. This study approaches—from a general perspective—the collection of publications related to career counseling for students by selecting and analyzing the extensive corpus of publications that appeared in the last 37 years (1985–2022) on Elsevier Scopus. This study relies on the theoretical framework of bibliometric analysis, which aims at investigating the literature of the given domain from a quantitative point of view by examining leading institutions and countries, influential authors, and papers. At the same time, this study reveals the main topics and research directions in the field of career counseling. The main findings and limitations of the study are discussed, and possible future research directions are also highlighted.
