Abstract

This study aims to analyze the academic literature related to the use of radiation in building design and preservation through a bibliometric analysis of publications associated with the keywords "radiation" and "building$". By exploring the role of radiation in energy efficiency, material durability, and environmental impacts, the research employs VOSviewer software to map academic contributions. The study examines five key categories: academic language, keyword analysis, leading authors, prominent resources, and the most cited articles. The keyword analysis reveals emerging research trends and thematic areas, while the analysis of influential authors and resources highlights academic interactions and collaborations in this field. The findings provide valuable insights for researchers and policymakers investigating the effective use of radiation in building design.
