Abstract
This chapter presents a strategy to initiate the profiling of M&S discipline and profession and its developments through the documentation of M&S publications in the journal of SIMULATION by geographic locations, university departments, and publishing outlets. Moreover, the study classifies M&S publications in terms of techniques, application areas, and their context in a relevant way with the second and third part of the body of knowledge, which defines the M&S core areas and supporting domains. Furthermore, this chapter provides a network analysis of the M&S publication relationships to the other subdisciplines in line with the purpose of the updated M&S index to identify synergies among M&S and other disciplines.
