### Cybersecurity Publications per Capita  
The fourth regression model examines the factors influencing cybersecurity publications per capita across countries, revealing distinct patterns when compared to the total scientific publications, blockchain, and privacy publications.  
The strongest predictor for cybersecurity publications is GNI per capita, with a substantial positive effect (beta = 0.651). This coefficient is similar to that for privacy publications and lower than for blockchain, but higher than for the total publications. This suggests that economic resources play a crucial role in cybersecurity research, reflecting the field's technological demands and its strategic importance to developed economies.  
Research spending as a percentage of GDP shows a positive relationship (beta = 0.184) with cybersecurity publications. This effect is weaker than that for privacy publications but stronger than for blockchain, indicating that while general research investment benefits cybersecurity research, it may rely on diverse funding sources beyond the traditional academic channels.  
The liberal democracy index demonstrates a positive relationship (beta = 0.092) with cybersecurity publications, stronger than that for blockchain but weaker than for privacy publications. This suggests that democratic societies tend to produce slightly more cybersecurity research, possibly due to greater concerns for digital rights and national security in open societies.  
Interestingly, average years of schooling shows a slight positive relationship (beta = 0.063) with cybersecurity publications, contrasting with the negative associations seen in blockchain and privacy publications. This could indicate that cybersecurity research benefits, at least to some extent, from broader educational attainment, perhaps due to its integration into various academic disciplines.  
Life expectancy shows a negligible association (beta = 0.001) with cybersecurity publication rates, the weakest among all the fields examined. This suggests that overall societal development, as measured by life expectancy, has little direct influence on cybersecurity research output.  
The specificities of cybersecurity publications compared to other fields suggest a unique position for this research area. Like other tech-focused fields, it shows a strong dependence on economic factors. However, it differs in its positive association with educational attainment and its moderate relationship with democratic systems. The positive relationship with education, unlike blockchain and privacy, might reflect the integration of cybersecurity into the broader curricula and its relevance across multiple sectors. This could indicate that countries with well-developed educational systems are more likely to produce cybersecurity research.  
The moderate influence of democracy on cybersecurity publications, stronger than that for blockchain but weaker than for privacy, might reflect the field's dual nature--balancing national security concerns (which can be prioritized in various political systems) with individual digital rights (more emphasized in democracies).  
These findings highlight the diversified nature of cybersecurity research, shaped by economic resources, educational systems, and political structures. For countries aiming to boost their cybersecurity research output, these results suggest a multi-directional approach: substantial economic investment, support for broad educational attainment, fostering a democratic environment that values digital security, and ensuring robust research funding.
