# Numbers Do Not Lie: A Bibliometric Examination of Machine Learning Techniques in Fake News Research
## 3 Dataset Analysis
### Literature Analysis  
In this section, the top 10 most cited documents are extracted from the data collection set and analyzed through multiple perspectives. For each paper, there are details provided regarding the name of the first author, the publishing year, the journal in which it was published, the reference, as well as number of authors, and the region, all meant to emphasize the diversity of the dataset. Furthermore, there are also included some crucial numerical indicators, useful for further analysis: total citations--TC, total citations per year--TYC, and normalized TC--NTC. For more information, kindly consult Table 11.

Additionally, a brief summary is provided for each individual article, including details regarding the topic addressed, the techniques employed, the data used for the analysis, and the goal of the study. All of what follows is intended to inform readers of the substantial body of literature currently available and to point them in the direction of specific works that will be helpful and interesting to their area of focus.  
In the last part of the section, we included a word analysis, providing valuable insights regarding the most frequent keywords, bigrams, trigrams, word cloud representations, co-occurrence networks, and thematic maps, all documented and deeply explained.
