This paper examines an approach to create systematic maps of the Information and Systems in Education. As a project for the 50th anniversary of the Japanese Society for Information and Systems in Education (JSiSE), the author investigated the discussion of scholarly scopes in JSiSE and previous research about the visualization of science and technology knowledge. Furthermore, this paper analyzed the relationships between studies in the recent special issue of JSiSE to propose an idea for creating the maps. Although the investigation and analysis in this paper have several limitations, this study confirms the coherency of the scholarly scopes in JSiSE since this academic society was established and the potential of network analysis about studies in the JSiSE journal.
