“…These objectives are important because variety of DFIMs exist, but majority of which take related methods [15]; [16]. They fail to address the fundamental differences and unique needs of online social networks [17]. However, because there is no universal way [10]; [18] in many cases, investigators conduct automated forensic investigations mostly using different methods [19].…”

“…Iteration process is considered in their proposed model but the process is too common and non-specific. A digital forensic investigation process model for online social networks (FIMOSN) was presented by [17]. The model comprises of seven (7) phases and focused on automating the whole process activities.…”

“…But for the purpose of coming up with a unified number and terms for this research, a total of five (5) models are randomly selected. According to [17], forensic investigation for online social networks consist of seven (7) phases; Pre-investigation, Incident specification, Extraction, Preservation, Analysis, Iteration and Presentation. [24] suggested six (6) phases; Identification, Preservation, Collection, Examination, Analysis and Presentation, [13] presented four (4) phases; Preparation, Incidence response, Laboratorium process and Presentation, [6] recommended four (4) also; Preliminary, Investigation, Analysis and Evaluation.…”

The purpose of this paper is to retrieve, evaluate and analyse the available published articles in five (5) relevant online databases from 2011 to 2021 and also critically identify the phases and activities involved in an Online Social Networks Forensic Investigation based on bibliometric analysis and Degree of confidence respectively in order to know the evolution in the research domain. A systematic literature review (SLR) technique was adopted by the author to search using pre-defined keywords. Only scholarly articles published between 2011 and 2021 written in English were included in the search. The total of 316 subscribed documents were collected from the five (5) online databases based on the search criteria although twenty-nine (29) are duplicates. ScienceDirect has the highest number with 189 documents and the year 2020 with the highest published articles. Six (6) phases and forty-three (43) activities were identified. According to a review of the recovered publications, no previous research has been done to statistically retrieve, evaluate and analyse the level of work that has been done in the domain of OSNFI, as well as the phases and activities involved in the forensic investigation of an online social networks crime.
