Abstract
Previous research on CyberTurfing has been scattered and fragmented in terms of methods and terminology. This paper presents a review of published research related to CyberTurfing in the era of big data. Our objectives were to identify the important terms in this domain and extract essential knowledge from previous studies. We also sought to gain an overview of the trends in CyberTurfing to provide guidance for subsequent research in this field.
