Abstract: Cyber parental control is a multidisciplinary field that aims to provide a safe Internet environment for children by authorizing parents or guardians to practice control on their children in using Internet access. Literature investigates and reviews cyber parental control from different perspectives, such as the risks associated with the cyber network, the roles of parents, the psychological and legal implications, and the technological aspects. However, there is a lack of studies on the bibliometric analysis report that demonstrates the research trend in cyber parental control. This study aims to present a thorough bibliometric and network collaboration analysis of cyber parental control research practices in the last twenty years. This analysis begins by identifying over 2700 unique literature items that were published between 2000 and 2019 in the Scopus and ISI Web of Science databases. Using bibliometric analysis, this study identifies the most influential literature, determines the topical discipline areas, and provides insights for current research trends and directions for the future on the research of cyber parental control. The findings provide a robust roadmap for further investigation in this field. This study also highlighted the taxonomy of cyber parental control tools and their filtering techniques. Finally, it presented several open challenges on cyber parental control as future research directions.
