Abstract
This article provides an overview of research on terrorism using the Global Terrorism Database (GTD). It is an open- source database containing over 200,000 terrorist events, both domestic and transnational. After identifying seven prominent journals of terrorism, data were gathered on 442 articles citing the GTD. All were published between 2008 and the beginning of 2023. An increasing trend was found in the number of articles over the examined period, supporting the growing popularity of the GTD. Popular databases containing control variables were identified in the second part of the analysis. Finally, the most common research topics were introduced through examples. These in- cluded spatiotemporal trends, case studies, suicide bombers, and lone-wolf terrorists.
