This article addresses the issue of sectoral innovation systems (SIS)1 in carrying out an holistically analysis2, evaluating the performance of scientific literature based on conceptual definitions, exploring the different features that SIS possess, identifying emerging trends of research topics and high level of relationship, and thereby establishing a clear picture of the subject evolution level, based on a detailed scientific basis and specialized searches. Several technological maps showing the relationship between lead authors on SIS, the publishing trends and the level of referencing are showed, similarly exploring the partnership dynamics between institutions and countries that have more influence on the knowledge development and advancement on issues related to SIS.
