Thanks for your presentation. I have a question. As I have known, the Internet of Things started in 1999, why do you just use bibliometric analysis of scientific publications (i.e. articles, books, book chapters, and conference papers) for the period between 2016 and 2022 for your research, why don't you extend the range to see clearly the trend of using protocols?
Thank you for asking this important question. Of course, you are right it would have been nice to see earlier trends, however, we defined our scope to be within a period of 2016 to 2022 because we were focusing on latest IoT devices and current research activities based on current security mitigation protocols. Hence, 2016 – 2022 suitably defined the scope of the study
