By way of example, the framework is then applied to two contributions to the science of cybersecurity. The science of cybersecurity is slowly emerging. As the science and its theories emerge, it is important to extract the key contributions that characterize actual progress in our understanding of cybersecurity. Researchers and funding agencies will be interested in the assessment framework as a means of assessing scientific contributions to cybersecurity. In a nascent research area such as the science of cybersecurity, this article may contribute to a focused research program to accelerate the growth of the science.}, keywords = {assessing science, cybersecurity, science of cybersecurity, scientific contributions, scientific progress, societal contributions}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/844}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/844}, author = {Dan Craigen} } @article {843, title = {Editorial: Cybersecurity (November 2014)}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {4}, year = {2014}, month = {11/2014}, pages = {3-4}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, keywords = {crimeware, cyber-attacks, cybersecurity, globalization, malware, safety, science of cybersecurity, scientific contributions, startups}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/843}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/843}, author = {Chris McPhee and Tony Bailetti} }
