Abstract
Computer networking is a major research discipline. We use article content and metadata of four important computer-networking periodicals — IEEE COMST, IEEE/ACM ToN, ACM SIGCOMM, and IEEE INFOCOM — over 18 years (2000–2017) to address bibliometric questions. SIGCOMM and INFOCOM publish new original research; ToN extends conference work; COMST publishes surveys and reviews. We track co-evolution of trends in COMST and ToN against INFOCOM and SIGCOMM via metadata, content-based, and citation analyses, identify significant trends and the most influential authors, institutes and countries, and propose a methodology and framework for bibliometric analysis on computer networking research.
