Abstract

In the recent past, the Vocational Education (VE) has been an emerging concern/area of higher education in India as well as in other nations. Global research has shown that publications in VE are also a key concern and one of the emerging areas of higher education. The purpose of the research study is to evaluate the global research trends in VE based on the bibliometric data collected on 10th February 2021 from the Scopus database from the publication year 1948 to 2021 for 73 years. The findings of the study reveal that 4003 scientific/research articles were extracted related to VE, in which the United Kingdom topped with 1140 publications. Among the most productive (a greater number of articles published) institutions, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia was found to be the topper with 168 publications. The Journal of Vocation Education and Training was the top journal that contributed the largest publication with 786 articles.
