Abstract
The present study is a report on the trend of publications and citations in the field of "media and security" from 2000 to 2019, as well as the scientific map of this field. This research was performed using social network analysis and cluster analysis techniques. The data collection source is Web of Science, and the data collection is done as a thematic search in the titles of the articles. Two indicators were used to determine the citation patterns and the number of citations. The results show that 536 articles in the field of security and media have been published by 984 authors from 2000 to 2019, of which 28 authors are actively involved with at least two articles in this field of research. The total number of citations to these 536 articles is 2,633, indicating an upward trend in the last decade. The authoritative map in the field of media and security consists of 28 nodes (authors). Also, the authors of the scientific products retrieved in this study have used 1392 different key concepts, of which 173 words have been repeated at least twice. The most common concepts were placed in 21 clusters. The concepts of "social media", "national security", "security", "media", "supervision", "terrorism", "privacy", "information security", "framing" and "new media" are among the most important concepts and have the highest centrality in the network.
