The purpose of this study is to determine the bibliometric profile and network structures
of the “career” titled articles published in international tourism and sport journals.
Articles in the category of "hospitality, tourism and sports" of the Web of Science
database were examined. In this study, without any year or other limitations, 488 career
titled articles in 133 journals were detected. Articles were analyzed using VOSviewer
in terms of publication year, keywords, journals, authors, universities of authors,
countries of authors and co-citations of authors and journals. Citation and co-citation
networks of the articles were visualized using bibliometric mapping technique. As a
result of the study, it is revealed that the first “career” titled article was published in
1982, and the number of articles is considerably increased after 2020. In addition, the
most cited journals are “Psychology of Sport and Exercise” and “International Journal
of Hospitality Management”. Moreover, "career development", "dual career" and
"gender" were the most used keywords in the articles. Additionally, the most productive
countries in terms of publishing “career” titled articles are the USA, UK, China, and
Sweden.
