Social computing is an emerging field, which encompasses a diverse range of topics. A broad comprehension of major topics involved in social computing is important for both scholars and practitioners. The paper presents and analyzes the voluminous social computing related studies to date. The paper applies document co-citation analysis, pathfinder network, core document and Herfindahl-Hirschman index theories for the literature review. The results not only provide insight to this subject area, but also afford conduit for the future research in this discipline.
