Visualization Analyses of Researches on BIM Technology Abroad

Abstract

以Web of ScienceTM核心合集数据库中收录的2005至2015年与BIM技术研究相关的文献为数据来源，使用共被引分析的研究方法，用CiteSpace III软件进行关键词、文献、期刊、作者的共引与主要研究国家的知识图谱绘制，研究结果表明：国外BIM技术以信息技术、建设与建设管理、本体以及IFC等内容为研究重点；为了了解和把握BIM技术研究的主要热点与发展脉络，并为后续研究提供参考，对重要研究文献、主要期刊、重要作者及其贡献、国家与机构4个方面的内容作了进一步的分析。 Data sources of this paper are journal articles about building information model from 2005 to 2015, which come from Web of ScienceTM database. Co-Citation Analysis Method is used to analyze different relationships of key words, literatures, journals, and authors. Mapping knowledge domains of the above co-citation analyses are built by CiteSpace III. Research findings are shown below: main topics of BIM aboard focus on information technology, construction management, construction, ontology and industry foundation classes. In order to understand and grasp main research hotspots and evolution process of BIM, and to provide advice for follow-up researches, further discussions are given from 4 aspects, which include key literatures, important journals, main authors and their contributions, countries and institutions.
