A Bibliometric Analysis of International Structural Engineering Standards Using VOS Viewer

This study aims to conduct bibliometric analysis based on the keyword data mapping process. Using Publish or Perish Harzing 8, a total of 1000 studies from the year 2000 to 2023 were gathered. These are subsequently reduced to 561 studies due to their relevance to the study’s topic. Documents are obtained as journal articles, books, datasets, reports, components, monographs, and references formatted in RIS data. The network and density of the keywords are visualized using VOS Viewer. The outcome indicates that “standards” and “structure” are still trending topics in global discourse. Studies on these keywords have also grown for the last couple of years, with 2019 being the peak, with 55 studies issued. From a total of 561 studies, North America is at the top, with 164 studies; Asia and Europe are second and third, with 112 and 95 studies, respectively; and Africa and Oceania are last, with 11 and 10 studies, respectively. Therefore, this review can serve as a reference point for additional studies.
