Abstract
The Journal of Vocational Behavior is one of the journals most representative of this issue worldwide.
One of our aims was to know the impact that the articles published in this journal have in the field of psychology and vocational guidance. We went about this by analysing the scientometric indicators of some of the articles published in this journal since 1993 until 2008. Specifically, we selected those articles which expressly refer to vocational guidance, and we analysed their content. This gave us an idea of the predominating theoretical interests within the scientific community during the study period.
For this study, we created the Vocational Guidance Research Database which, other than recording the articles published about this field in various research journals, allowed us to conduct scientometric studies.
After analysing the results obtained, we studied the exact vocational psychology research topics in recent decades by means of specialised studies.
