Abstract

This study aims to offer a bibliographic review of publications on cybersecurity behaviour from the Scopus database, emphasizing the trends and impact of these publications. As of September 11, 2023, this study compiled 2,540 articles published from 2012 to 2022, based on a search using keywords related to cybersecurity behaviour. Following this work, three tools was used namely Microsoft Excel, VOS viewer software and Herzing’s Publish and Perish software to analyse the gathered articles from Scopus database. This study presents the findings regarding the current trends and impact of publications on cybersecurity behaviour. The bibliometric analysis indicates a gradual increase in the number of publications over time. A total of 1,569 articles have been published, receiving over 1,090.45 citations annually, with an average of 7.64 citations per article and 3.66 authors per paper. It was found that more than half of documents were published as journal articles, and United States and China emerge as the top two contributors to the field of cybersecurity behaviour research. This study focuses only on the Scopus database. For future research, the other database such as Google Scholar, Web of Science, Pub Med and Dimension could be considered for a more meaningful and impactful findings. This is the first study, to the author's knowledge, to offer a review on cybersecurity behaviour.
