Restoration in the Discipline of Architecture: A Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends Since 2000

Abstract

Preservation of architectural heritage and its transfer to next generations have been important subjects worldwide from past to present. In this context, the concept of architectural restoration plays an important role. Numerous studies have been conducted in the field of architectural restoration, but there are not enough bibliometric analysis studies on these studies. In this study, it is aimed to determine the research trends that have changed over the years by systematically analyzing the relevant literature with the help of bibliometric analysis and to provide ideas for future studies. In the study, 1415 articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) database under the title of architectural restoration between 2000–2021 were analyzed bibliometrically with the help of VOSviewer and WoS software. The data obtained at each stage were evaluated separately and it was revealed in which direction the data of the studies published in 21 years on a global scale evolved. The results show that the most published journal in the field of architectural restoration is Archistor Architecture History Restoration while the most cited articles were published in International Journal of Architectural Heritage. On the other hand, although the published studies are mostly gathered under the keywords of restoration, conservation and cultural heritage, the current studies published in this field are summarized under the titles of sustainable design and building modeling.
