Bibliographic analysis of BIM Success Factors and Other BIM Literatures using Vosviewer: A Theoretical Mapping and Discussion

Abstract

Abstract Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a new technology in the construction industry to form a collaboration platform for effective communication and improve productivity and efficiency. Many researches have been published investigating BIM success adoption and implementation, challenges, risk, and barriers. However, there has been no systematic study analyzing the Bibliographic of these studies as a tool to explore a research gap in BIM implementation. This study is aimed to synthesize previously published papers on BIM and propose a new method for identifying success factors for effective BIM implementation by analyzing BIM-related journal articles published from 2009 to 2018. The main feature of this research methodology is the provision of a critical review of the literature and theoretical mapping for bibliometric analysis. As a result, limited articles have been dedicated to study the effective BIM implementation. This research paper has proposed a new useful method to be adopted for identifying success factors for effective BIM implementation.
