Articles published in Counseling and Values: Spirituality, Ethics, and Religion in Counseling (CVJ) from 2000 to 2019 were analyzed for trends over time related to author characteristics and article content. Women now (2015–2019) compose more than two thirds of lead authors, about 90% of first and all authors are primarily affiliated with universities, and 12% of first authors from 2015 to 2019 are domiciled internationally. CVJ significantly increased the proportion of research publications while maintaining consistent proportions across all coded research variables. Only about 10% of articles focused on ethics, whereas 28% focused on spiritual and religious topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
