The source considered has been the Scopus Elsevier database, together with bibliometric analysis techniques. Different aspects of the publications are analysed, such as publication type, field, language, subcategory and journal type, as well as the keyword occurrence frequency. The results of this work show that the most popular keywords were Trade Union, Employment, Labour Market and Industrial Relations. It is observed how the United States, being the most productive country, leads in almost all the keywords except in two, \u201cLabour market\u201d and \u201cWorking Conditions\u201d, which are led by UK. If the keywords are studied only as geographical terms we can find the United States, Eurasia and India. The contributions are geographically and institutionally broken down. The most active categories are Social Sciences, Business, and Management and Accounting. The evolution of the most popular keywords indicates how in the last years \u201cTrade Unions\u201d \u201cIndustrial Relations\u201d and \u201cPersonnel\u201d have lost importance against \u201cLabor Market\u201d and \u201cEmployment\u201d, showing new concerns in the labour relations field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/publications5040025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,13]],"date-time":"2017-10-13T11:34:09Z","timestamp":1507894449000},"page":"25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Worldwide Scientific Production Indexed by Scopus on Labour Relations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3019-3539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esther","family":"Salmer\u00f3n-Manzano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Legal, Social and Human Sciences, Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), Av. de la Paz, 137, 26006 Logro\u00f1o, La Rioja, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0085-030X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Manzano-Agugliaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Engineering, University of Almeria, Ctra.
