Main Research Directions and Evolutionary Trends of BIM Based on Bibliometric Analysis
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
BIM technology has been valued by the construction industry and its academic community. Its innovative concepts and application value have promoted the mode innovation and sustainable development of the construction industry. This study aims to reveal the current status and trends of BIM research since 1998 through bibliometric analysis, and then to put forward relevant suggestions. The literature data is selected from the Web of Science (WOS) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases, and the related results are presented through bibliometric analysis, co-word analysis, theme evolution analysis, and visualization algorithms. By comparing domestic and international BIM related literature, this study draws the hot word clusters and evolution trend maps, discusses the research directions and evolutionary trends, and summarizes the recent research hotspots. These study results provide reference directions and guidance for theoretical research and practical application of future Chinese BIM.
