Publication Pattern and Research Assessment of Cyber Security: A Bibliometric Study

Abstract

In today’s digital age, where technology shapes our lives, the importance of cyber security cannot be overstated. As technology advances, the need for cyber security becomes crucial to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of sensitive data. The study conducted a bibliometric analysis to examine cyber security literature from 2013 to 2022 published in the Scopus database, indexing 5600 documents. Employing tables, graphs, and charts, the analysis reveals key findings: Lingfeng Wang from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is the most prolific author, followed by Taha Selim Ustun and Kim-Kwang Raymond Choo. IEEE Access leads in the journal analysis, followed by “Computers and Security” and “Sensors.” The peak publication year is 2022, with 2013 as the least productive. The USA is the most prolific country, followed by China, UK, and India. Top affiliations include the King Abdulaziz University, Deakin University, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The study also reveals the open-access availability of literature in different categories. Overall, analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of cyber security literature, emphasizing key authors, journals, affiliations, countries, years, literature availability in open access, and publication trends.
