Digital security education: Bibliometric study on cyberbullying in web of science

Abstract

The way society communicates today has changed and this affects education as well. The information and communication technologies (ICT), social networks and different multimedia devices play a fundamental role in the educational field, however, this use does not always bring benefits, and one of the disadvantages is cyberbullying. This research aims to analyse the situation of the existing scientific literature in the Web of Science database on cyberbullying. On a methodological level, a bibliometric study has been carried out where the structural and dynamic development of the study term is analysed. The results reflect that the scientific production on this subject is low and irregular, where most of the scientific texts are articles and English is their main language. It is concluded that the theme advocates mainly intervention and prevention.
