Abstract: This study was conducted to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of published research on Cyber Physical System in order to understand the trends and compare the publications contributions among different regions, institutions, authors, subject areas and other domains. The publications on the CPS were retrieved from Scopus database from 2009 -2018. A total of 2,486 articles were identified after different search steps. The analysis was done using bibliometric procedure. The largest number of publications were recorded in 2018 (781). The results further revealed that, China contributed the highest proportion of 817(32.8%) publications, the USA was ranked second with total publications of 733 (29.5%). The most productive journals of publications were IFAC Papersonline and IEEE Access with 223 (9%) publications and total citation of 27,518. Similarly, the most productive authors were Shi, Liaoshan with 19 (H-index 11) and Yang, Guanghong Hong with 14 (H-index 7), these 2 top authors has cumulative citations of 3,421. The bibliometric analysis of subject area revealed that, Engineering has the highest number of publications with 765 (30.8%), followed by computer sciences with 605 (24.3%). However, among the top areas of research in CPS, business, management and accounting is the least with the with only 54 (2.2%) publications from 2009 to 2018. Moreover, keywords, affiliations and funding agencies statistics were reported. Finally, this study provide a sound ground and motivation for scholars from different fields to engage in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary collaborations for successful research outcome.
