Bibliometric Analysis of The Relationships Between Glass, Buildings and Radiation: A VOSviewer Examination of Web of Science Data

Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of academic works obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database using the keywords "radiation," "glass," and "building." Utilizing the VOSviewer software, the study identifies the distribution of these articles by year, language, publication type, and the most influential authors, countries, institutions, and sources. Based on data from 913 articles, the keyword analysis reveals the most commonly used concepts in the field and the relationships between them. The evolution of these key terms over time is also examined. According to the analysis, "solar radiation", "window", and "glass" emerged as the most frequently used terms, closely related to topics such as energy efficiency, thermal performance, and natural ventilation. This research highlights the development of academic literature focused on the relationships between radiation, glass, and buildings and identifies the key research trends in this domain. The findings suggest a growing interest in scientific research on energy efficiency and building materials.
