Abstract
El principal objetivo es realizar un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo desde el punto de vista institucional de la investigación relacionada con BIM presente en la colección principal de la Web of Science durante el período 2003-2017. Para ello, fueron revisados los registros del tipo ‘artículo’ o ‘revisión’ y se analizaron diferentes indicadores bibliométricos. La difusión internacional de investigación de los 16 países más productivos fue analizada, indicando las revistas de publicación de cada país, así como las principales revistas. Asimismo, EE.UU. es el país más productivo, aunque con un factor de impacto relativo algo mayor que la media debido a la dispersión de sus publicaciones en revistas de medio y bajo impacto, y la Universidad de Curtin (Australia) y el Instituto de Tecnología de Georgia (EE.UU.) son las instituciones más productivas y con alto impacto, sobresaliendo también la Universidad Politécnica de Hong Kong.
Highlights
As one of the most influential innovations in the construction industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is able to facilitate work in different areas such as construction, industry, manufacturing and facilities management (1)(2)(3)(4)
Given the great thrust of publications related to BIM in its different areas or categories, it has been considered appropriate to carry out a bibliometric analysis different from those carried out to date, in order to extract results from an institutional point of view at both the country and research center levels of research, using the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database as the main worldwide database given that the main scientific journals are identified with Impact Factor (IF), and with a minimum quality level governed by the pairs review system
The database selected for the analysis of the scientific production on BIM was the Web of Science (WoS) ‘Core Collection’ of Clarivate Analytics, because there are other alternative databases such as Scopus, Compendex or Inspec, WoS performs the Impact Factor study by analyzing its visibility, so it has been necessary to download all the impact factors of all journals for the entire time series (2003-2017)
Summary
As one of the most influential innovations in the construction industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is able to facilitate work in different areas such as construction, industry, manufacturing and facilities management (1)(2)(3)(4). Given the great thrust of publications related to BIM in its different areas or categories, it has been considered appropriate to carry out a bibliometric analysis different from those carried out to date, in order to extract results from an institutional point of view at both the country and research center levels of research, using the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database as the main worldwide database given that the main scientific journals are identified with Impact Factor (IF), and with a minimum quality level governed by the pairs review system (blind or double blind peer review). This last method is the most widely accepted by the scientific community, despite the criticisms of its use (16)(17), since for its calculation only the last 2 years are chosen, when the tendency to change is much slower, or that a document is considered to be of higher quality the more times it is cited
