AB - The purpose of this paper is to review research articles on social computing and to provide the future directions of the study. A total of 51 articles published in social scientific journals from 2006 to 2010 are analysed by research theme, methodology, level of analysis, and application area. It is found that most of the studies are addressing blogs and mainly focusing on societal concepts rather than organizational concepts. The predominant methodology is field study at the individual level of analysis. We suggest that future researches on social computing need to address more various topics and application areas. Also diversity in terms of methodology and level of analysis is required.
