Abstract
The increasing use of internet-based technologies and computer networks, which grow and develop daily, has brought problems. A new type of crime called cybercrime has emerged and is committed through computers. There are various research and studies on cyber crimes. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of studies on the keywords "Cyber Crimes", "Internet Crimes" and "Computer Crimes" indexed in Web of Science between 2000 and 2023. This study aims to reveal the scientific map of research and studies on cybercrimes, make sense of the data, understand the current situation, trends, and relationships in this field, and create a resource for future cybercrime studies. Bibliometric analyzes were performed using Bibliometrix and Microsoft Excel programs. A total of 2566 studies by 5590 different authors were determined to be used in the research. Jaishankar, K. was the most prolific writer with 21 articles. University College Dublin was the university with the most publications, with 56 articles. IEEE Access became the most-published journal with 151 articles. The most cited work is Stuxnet and the Future of Cyber Wars by Farwell, JP, and Rohozinski, R. Bibliometric analysis results such as most used keywords, including the most influential and productive countries, authors, universities and journals in the field of cybercrime are included. In studies on cybercrime, the relationships and collaborations between countries and authors are presented with visuals.
