Abstract
The metaverse, one of today's most groundbreaking innovations, offers important opportunities for our future in many areas. However, these opportunities bring with them some critical threats. Security and privacy in the metaverse are among the most current threats that researchers focus on. This study aims to provide a more concrete view of the studies on security and privacy research in the metaverse in the WOS and SCOPUS databases by using bibliometric techniques. In addition, this study assesses the effects of the existing literature and offers a series of suggestions regarding measures that can be taken to protect privacy and security. In the study, 86 studies published in 64 different sources between 2018 and 2024 are analyzed in terms of scientific performance with different bibliometric techniques. According to the prominent findings of the study, it is understood that the highest number of scientific publications were published in 2023; each publication received an average of 17 citations; single-author studies constitute 25% of all studies; and the most publications were published in the Journal of Metaverse. It is thought that the results revealed in this study and the suggested coping strategies regarding privacy and security will contribute to future studies.
