Since about 2010, there has been increased attention in gauging and improving digital citizenship across the world. One important aspect of digital citizenship is cybersecurity awareness. This paper reports on a review of 35 studies that have been conducted in this area, primarily consisting of surveys of students. The primary purpose of this review was to compare and evaluate the methods used in these studies to provide guidance towards future studies. The studies surveyed from 32 to over 3000 participants evaluated cybersecurity awareness and/or practice, with about half of them providing copies of the survey questions to allow for follow-on comparative studies.
