Since its inception, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) have been attracting much attention from both academia and industry. As for other wireless networking areas, scientific advancements are mainly due to the employment of simulation tools and mathematical models. After surveying 283 papers published in the last decade on vehicular networking, we pinpoint the main studied topics as well the most employed tools, pointing out the changes in research subject preference over the years. As a key contribution, we also evaluate to what extent the research community has evolved concerning the principles of credibility in simulation-based studies, such as repeatability and replicability, comparing our results with previous studies.
