ABSTRACT
Authorship attribution has a long history started since the 19th century. Existing studies have
used different sets of stylometric features and computational methodologies on a
variety of corpus with different lengths and genres. This study presents a protocol to perform
a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the best combination of stylometric features and
computational methodology. Specifically, we formulate an SLR protocol that can be used to
conduct a literature survey to help answer like (i) whether it is possible to identify the authorial style of
an author regardless the genre and length of the text, and (ii) how to select specific stylometric
features and computational methodology. We also conduct an example of how the proposed SLR
protocol can be used as a template for publication extraction and filtering for an SLR on authorship
attribution.
