| Abstract [eng] |
Bidding is the process in which a contractor submits a tender
to the owner of a construction project to undertake its execution. This
enables companies to properly employ required contractors. This paper
investigates the trends of research conducted on construction bidding
from 1975 to 2022 through a scientometric analysis from different
viewpoints. A total of 299 relevant articles published in 191 journals
were collected from the Web of Science database and analyzed by HistCite
and CiteSpace software. The top journals, articles, institutes, and
authors that contributed to bidding studies were ranked. The trends of
published articles and contributions from different countries on the
subject were examined. Moreover, the co-occurrence network, strongest
burst detection, trends of the top keywords, and cluster analysis were
determined. This review creates an in-depth insight into the content,
enabling researchers to understand the existing body of knowledge and to
trace a practical guideline for future studies. |
