This study aims to figure whether the OSN has an impact or influence toward academic performance by indicating the numbers of research being done in the past for the said scope. The analysis toward those literatures is done by using three steps which are; identify relevant literature, classify the literatures to the precise category, and synthesize and analyze to meet the study objective. The result shows that not many researches have been done on the said scope throughout the range of six years and this show the limitation of research that likely to be used as reference. It can be concluded that the mentioned scope needed more attention, especially Primary Level. The potential for research study on this matter is vast as the Facebook users growing rapidly. Â
