Digital Transformation and The Construction Industry Research Landscape: Exploring the evolving research methods

The construction industry has experienced a lot of digital transformation during the present industrial revolution. This transformation has disrupted every aspect of the construction industry. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of this technology driven disruption on the research landscape. This study aims to identify the present research methods and approaches to check for a commensurate transformation in the research landscape. To achieve this, a bibliometric review was carried out. The data for the study was extracted using keywords from the Scopus database, and the analysis was done using VosViewer. It was observed that researchers are moving more towards the adoption of mixed methods research. Also, researchers are adopting technology-driven research methods (data collection and analysis).

Abstract

The construction industry has experienced a lot of digital transformation during the present industrial revolution. This transformation has disrupted every aspect of the construction industry. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of this technology driven disruption on the research landscape. This study aims to identify the present research methods and approaches to check for a commensurate transformation in the research landscape. To achieve this, a bibliometric review was carried out. The data for the study was extracted using keywords from the Scopus database, and the analysis was done using VosViewer. It was observed that researchers are moving more towards the adoption of mixed methods research. Also, researchers are adopting technology-driven research methods (data collection and analysis).
