Since 2007, research in social computing has become more popular for researchers and professionals in multiple fields dealing with technology, business and politics. A study performed by affiliates of [[Washington State University]] used a [[Latent semantic analysis]] on academic papers containing the term "social computing" to find that topics in social computing converge into the three major themes of Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Sharing and Content Management.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Li|first=Yibai|last2=Joshi|first2=K.D.|date=July 29, 2012|title=The State of Social Computing Research: A Literature Review and Synthesis using the Latent Semantic Analysis Approach|journal=Association for Information Systems Electronic Library}}</ref> Social computing continues to shift the direction of research in Information Sciences as a whole, extending social aspects into technological and corporate domains.
