Summary:Building information modeling(BIM) makes great contributions to empowering the construction industry and it has been adopted widely in many fields. To capture existing circumstance and future trend of BIM in the perspective of bibliometric analysis, we analyse 1247 papers related to BIM publications which are collected from the Web of Science database with time span defined as "all years". Results concerning the publications and its citation structure, the network of co-authorship in countries/region and institutes, the network of co-citation in cited references, and keywords co-occurrence are presented in this paper, and VOSviewer software is used as a visualising analysis tool. This paper not only summarizes the research progress of BIM but also provides a useful method for the future evaluation of construction field.
