In recent years, due to both the desire of university administrations worldwide to be included in global rankings and the pressure in some countries for universities to publish in journals, particularly in the Q1 category, rejection rates have significantly increased, and competition has intensified. Many universities compel their academics, particularly young academics, to publish in the Q1 category, aiming to secure a position in global rankings. In this process, young academics often face high rejection rates, leading to morale issues. As found in another study by the author, the most common reason for these rejections is "out of scope."Recently, with the popularization of Bibliometric Analysis, a type of quantitative analysis, it has become possible to obtain quantitative findings on countries, authors, university samples, weak and robust research areas, literature gaps, collaboration networks, potential opportunities, and the widespread impacts of outputs produced in a field within academic journals. With the current research, the use of the keyword inquiry method enables the tracking of topic-based trends in academic journals, allowing researchers to observe how these trends have evolved. This approach helps identify which topics have become outdated and which ones are the most current. In this regard, it is believed that this research can be beneficial for researchers aiming to publish in reputable journals and wishing to avoid desk rejection due to being "out of scope." In the research, VOSviewer was used to analyze the changes (trends) in scoping topics of one of the most prestigious education journals in the Q1 category.
