Abstract

Scopus currently plays a crucial role in guaranteeing the quality of journals included in this prestigious database, which in turns represents the reputation of world universities according to well-known rankings, e.g. The QS World University Rankings, The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, etc. Awareness of the research trends in Scopus can facilitate researchers in making their appropriate decisions on the topics and methodology that are gaining popularity, which will increase their opportunity to have their works published in Scopus journals. This study aims at investigating the current trends in ELT/AL publications based on 180 articles from three Thai Scopus-indexed journals, i.e., PASAA, LEARN, and rEFLections, published between 2019 and2021. The results have indicated that the majority of studies in these fields centered around second/foreign language learning and teaching, with vocabulary being ranked first in popularity, and the most frequent research design was the survey study. Approximately 62.5% of the studies gathered data from students/learners, with undergraduate students being most frequently examined. Overall, there was a preponderance of authors whose affiliations were in Thailand, and a closer scrutiny has discovered PASAA published more articles by international scholars, while the other two contained more articles contributed by local academics.
