<p>The aim of the present study is to represent a full-fledged knowledge map of the pile of studies on Sociocultural Theory over the last 60 years using a data set gleaned from the Scopus database. Through a bibliometric analysis, an attempt was made to scrutinize the pile of articles published between 1962 and 2023 to elaborate on the kinds of research done implementing Sociocultural theory as their theoretical stance or framework, the research headings on different features of sociocultural theory, and oncoming research perspectives. Using the keywords “sociocultural theory/perspective/framework/lens/ approach/ analysis and socio-historical theory”, 4830 articles were retrieved. Some further filtering was employed to narrow down the results to the article and reviews in subject areas including “social science”, “art and humanities” and “psychology” and specifically “language teaching and education” published in English journals led to 3039 articles. After data cleaning and screening the content of the abstracts and documents, 2865 documents were remained for analysis. Through production, content and citation analysis, and interactive relationships (network analysis) employing a bibliometric tool, the most influential documents, authors, journals, institutes and countries were introduced in the relevant fields and network patterns. Moreover, the gaps and research implications were also specified. It was concluded that Sociocultural theory has been a desirable research issue in the last 60 years, and its increasing publication has been due to the collaboration of numerous authors, universities, and sources, and countries. Moreover, “sociocultural perspective”, “identity”, “teacher education” and “learning” were the most common topics in articles on SCT, and basic points, such as “young learners”, “written corrective feedback” and “emotion regulation” are among the emerging topics in the realm of SCT.</p>
