The purpose of this research is to provide a conceptual overview on published studies and articles related to social media and information systems as two independent, continuous and interdepend-ent concepts. The research data is from the survey for two social media keywords and information systems from the Scopus site, which is one of the main scientific search engines. Due to a large number of findings, the study area was limited to 6 major areas of social sciences, business management, economics, arts and humanities, psychology and decision-making sciences, and 5185 articles were found. To investigate and analyze the findings, the Romethometrics and bibliometrics library of R Studio software were used. Biblimetrix was a method for studying and evaluating quantitative scientific texts using mathematical and statistical methods. The data obtained from this research is useful for scholars, researchers, decision-makers and those interested in social media and information networks in the political, economic, social and cultural spheres.
