I am looking for information on Data Protection and how cybersecurity impacts the security of peoples’ data in an age where companies collect more data on their customers than ever before. This week’s search has provided me with additional information that will no doubt prove useful in examining this topic.

Subject Search

Database: GALE OneFile Computer Science Collection
Citation: Romanosky, Sasha (2016), Examining the costs and causes of cyber incidents, Journal of Cybersecurity (Vol 2., Issue 2) https://go-gale-com.ezproxy.fhsu.edu/ps/retrieve.do?tabID=T002&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&searchResultsType=SingleTab&hitCount=28&searchType=AdvancedSearchForm&currentPosition=4&docId=GALE%7CA610763496&docType=Report&sort=Relevance&contentSegment=ZCDB&prodId=CDB&pageNum=1&contentSet=GALE%7CA610763496&searchId=R7&userGroupName=klnb_fhsuniv&inPS=true

Taking an article from my previous search back in Week 11, I used the subject term  “National Institute of Standards and Technology.” I was unsure of what this agency did or why it existed, with my only clue being that it was vaguely technology related and mentioned frequently in the article.  Surprisingly, with just this subject I had a good 2,192 results, which I promptly filtered down to 9 results by sorting for full-text magazines written after 2021, finding an interesting article on DC-BLOX Data Centers becoming NIST 800-171 compliant, which gave me an idea of how this agency may relate to my topic given that it helps govern and regulate these data centers.

Citation Trace

The rubric states to not reuse your subject search source for the citation trace, but that wasn’t even an option to begin with. I had to use an EBSCO Computer Source article for the citation trace as I could not find how to citation trace on GALE OneFile’s Computer Science database. Citation: Rash, Wayne (2016), Big Data Analysis Makes Breaches a Greater Threat to Cyber-Security. eWeek 1-1 https://web-p-ebscohost-com.ezproxy.fhsu.edu/ehost/detail/detail?vid=0&sid=ed7be1a0-50a5-4b41-9b55-4c9cbf8bfb6a%40redis&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#db=cph&AN=113072085 I could not find any sources that cited the article on EBSCO, though I found multiple other times the author’s works were cited in the past. Seeing as it is taken from a piece on eWeek none of the sources are directly cited in the article itself. I find this search useful in that I trust this article a little less as a result of my citation search, as it seems less accredited than I originally thought it would be. I attempted the same citation trace on Google Scholar after fining this out, and that yielded the same results. As a result of these two searches, I will not be using much information from this article in my research paper.
