Карьерное консультирование обучающихся школы: библиометрический анализ

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of literature containing material on career counseling of school students for the period from 1960 to 2023 using the Scopus database. The purpose of the analysis is to trace the development and current state of research in the field, highlighting major trends, leading journals on the subject, the interdisciplinary nature of the material, networks of scholarly collaboration, and the geographic distribution of research activity. The results of the study revealed a growing interest in career counseling, which reflects its relevance in the context of a dynamic labor market and practice-oriented professional development. Leading journals that provide valuable sources for scholarly research and advances in the field are identified. The interdisciplinary nature of the research is demonstrated, covering psychology, social sciences, which indicates an integrated approach to the subject of the study. Using the VOSviewer program, collaborative networks of authors who have published at least five articles on the subject are visualized, which allows to identify well-known researchers and their scientific connections. This analysis facilitates further scientific collaboration and familiarity with the research community. In addition, the geographical analysis shows that despite the global interest in career counseling, there is relatively little research in Central Asian countries, suggesting the need for further research in this region. Overall, this bibliometric analysis provides valuable insight into the evolution, productivity, and intellectual structure of career counseling research, identifying key themes and directions for future research.
