The present study extends the review of the literature by providing a general perspective and going beyond WL. It uses a combination of bibliometric technique and thematic analysis to comprehensively examine and review the WL field. For the purpose of this study, 1,121 existing documents from 2000 to 2020 which have been indexed in Web of Science database are investigated. Additionally, the researchers analyzed a sample of 10 most cited articles to identify the quality and impact. Major research trends in WL research literature which has been investigated including variations across publication years, identifying active research areas, and the most prolific authors, organizations and counties, co-authorship. It can be said that the current study is describing the current state of workplace learning. With the intent of informing future research and practice in the emerging discipline of workplace learning

Summary
Highlight On 22 August 2019, a SCOPUS basic search using titles, abstracts and keywords for the phrase of which the oldest was dated 1988. There existed some form of arrangements even in the ancient Greek whereby apprentice training was conducted within workers’ cooperation (Wenger and Snyder, 2000). These rather informal provisions of learning in the workplace were regarded as the hallmark of communities of practice (one of the few ways in which workplace learning is described in the literature) the exact term was coined much later in the 1990s (Wenger, 1998)
