The growth rate of the<br />information society domain in the Web of Science was 4%. In the ISC, the growth rate was<br />67% during 1991 to 2015 and from 2005 to 2018 the negative growth rate was 23%. The<br />clusters of the information society included trust, digital gap, globalization, information<br />policy, information society, technology, politics, education, copyright, and intellectual<br />property. Internet and technology have the highest link in the three centrality measures and<br />the highest rate in the proximity and middle measures at the Web of Science. The results show<br />that the network of information society domain has a continuous structure.<br />Conclusion: According to the results of this study, scientific policy making in the field<br />of information society can be aided. By identifying research gaps in the field of information<br />society domestically and in relation to related issues abroad, information science<br />professionals can work to address these gaps.  Abstract<br />Aim: It aims to draw and analyze the Mapping Outputs of the Information Society<br />Domain through the Co-occurrence of the Vocabulary in the Citation Databases of Web of<br />Science during 2001-2018 and ISC during 1991-2018.<br />Methodology: This study is a syntactic analysis of words which is one of the scientific<br />techniques.<br />Findings: The thematic areas of the Information Society, Internet and the digital gap<br />between the Web of Science database and information society, Employment, and the World<br />Summit on the ISC database had the highest share of production.
