Abstract

Objective: This study aims to uncover the data on research trends in multicultural counselling competence in Indonesia from 2013 to 2022 and its implications for the future development of research in multicultural counselling competence. Method: The method used in this study is bibliometric analysis, with data collection conducted through the Google Scholar database, which is a reputable search engine among Indonesian researchers. Result: The results of this study identified a total of 13 articles published in seven journals and six proceedings. The journal “Komunika: Jurnal Dakwah dan Komunikasi” had the highest impact (H-index) with a score of 24, while the author Riza Zahriyal Falah had the highest number of citations with a total of 42 citations. The dominant keywords in the research trends of multicultural counselling competence included multiculturalism, multicultural, guidance and counselling, and counselling. Each of these keywords appeared twice compared with 32 other keywords that only appeared once. Conclusion: The findings in the coword mapping can still be further developed for research advancement by exploring multicultural counselling competence through the exploration of various cultures in Indonesia. Additionally, the findings regarding co-authorship can be developed for cross-institutional collaborations within the country and international research collaborations. © 2023 British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
