Trends in security research: a text mining-based meta analysis of the literature

The rapid evolution of technology has heightened the need for robust security frameworks to protect sensitive information.As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, academic research plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by developing innovative solutions.This project, which focuses on uncovering patterns and insights within scholarly articles on security and cyberattacks, is of significant importance to the cybersecurity field.By utilizing text mining to analyze 314 research papers from leading journals published between 1970 and 2024, we aim to identify historical developments, emerging topics, and the contributions of publishers to the field of study.The results of this study not only provide a roadmap for navigating the vast security literature but also offer valuable insights that can inform future research and contribute to the advancement of cybersecurity knowledge.
