IoT Forensics Research – Journals and Articles search

[Watson note – when I see the quantity of existing journal articles on this topic I don’t think we could ever list them all. Additional thought, when there are nearly ~60,000 articles touching on this topic why do they have so little influence on the practice of digital forensics.]
