Abstract

Abstract: Systems engineering is still a growing field that depends on continuous research to develop and mature. Research in systems engineering is difficult and the classic approaches for other engineering disciplines may not be sufficient. Additional methods and tools from business and social sciences are required to address all the issues in systems engineering. This paper performs a bibliometric analysis on the Systems Engineering journal from INCOSE to capture and discuss the status and trends of research in the field. This is also complemented by keyword parsing of the journal papers to develop a structure for classification of systems engineering research. This will be used for formulating a research approach tailored for systems engineering.
