This metastudy evaluates trends and patterns in the author and article characteristics found in the Journal of Counseling & Development from 2000 to 2019. Special attention was given to research articles to more accurately identify and evaluate the research advancing the counseling profession. Findings suggest significant shifts in authorship (e.g., majority women authors, more international lead authors, 3.18 authors per article), content type (e.g., more research and international counseling articles and fewer practice, theory, trends, and profiles articles; slightly more counseling process articles; slightly fewer multicultural issues and health/well-being articles), research design (i.e., more intervention articles; more true/quasi-experimental, single-subject research, and meta-analytic designs and fewer correlational designs); participants (i.e., slightly larger sample sizes); and statistics used in studies (i.e., more basic or intermediate and fewer advanced statistics). Although the use of effect size and sample reliability estimates increased, the use of sample validity estimates did not.
