Abstract: Sociocybernetics is an emerging field of research, innovation and development whose proposed goal is the construction of knowledge on social systems from the systems science and cybernetics perspectives. Sociocybernetics assumes that social systems belong to the superclass of complex systems and promotes the computational modeling and simulation approach to support decision-making processes when dealing with social systems problems. In the present work, the results and analysis of a bibliometric review on sociocybernetics is reported. The main conclusion of the present work is the fact that at the present, sociocybernetics is at its initial stage of development but widely extended both geographically and across scientific disciplines which justifies efforts directed towards a sustained work in its development and its consolidation.
