The operation and maintenance (O&M) phase of the building life cycle is the costliest and longest, yet it has received limited research attention regarding its integration with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Digital Twins (DT). This study employs bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review (SLR) to explore this underdeveloped research area. Using data from 385 academic publications in the Scopus database, VOSviewer was applied to create, visualize, and analyze maps of countries, journals, documents, and keywords based on citation, co-citation, collaboration, and co-occurrence data. Clustering analysis identified five emerging themes: “Tech-Driven Sustainability,” “Digital Built Environment,” “Data-Driven Infrastructure,” “Digital Transformation in Heritage Maintenance,” and “Digital Integration for Architectural Efficiency,” which were further analyzed through SLR. The findings reveal that nearly 45 % of these publications were produced in the last 16 months, reflecting the field's accelerating growth and collaborative nature, with an average of four authors per publication. However, the dominance of conference papers over peer-reviewed journal articles and the limited contributions from regions such as the Middle East, Africa, and South America indicate gaps in research coverage and geographic representation. By bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical application, this study identifies key challenges, barriers, and future research directions, contributing to the field by offering a roadmap for advancing and optimizing O&M processes through BIM and DT integration.

建筑信息模型和数字孪生在建筑生命周期运营和维护中的集成：文献计量分析回顾


建筑生命周期的运营和维护 （O&M） 阶段是最昂贵和最长的，但关于它与建筑信息模型 （BIM） 和数字孪生 （DT） 的集成，它受到的研究关注有限。本研究采用文献计量分析和系统文献综述 （SLR） 来探索这一不发达的研究领域。使用来自 Scopus 数据库中 385 篇学术出版物的数据，VOSviewer 用于根据引文、共引、协作和共现数据创建、可视化和分析国家/地区、期刊、文档和关键字的地图。聚类分析确定了五个新兴主题：“技术驱动的可持续性”、“数字建筑环境”、“数据驱动的基础设施”、“遗产维护的数字化转型”和“建筑效率的数字集成”，这些主题通过 SLR 进行了进一步分析。研究结果显示，这些出版物中有近 45% 是在过去 16 个月内产生的，这反映了该领域的加速增长和协作性质，每篇出版物平均有四位作者。然而，会议论文相对于同行评审期刊文章的主导地位以及来自中东、非洲和南美洲等地区的贡献有限，表明研究覆盖范围和地理代表性存在差距。通过弥合理论研究与实际应用之间的差距，本研究确定了关键挑战、障碍和未来的研究方向，通过提供通过 BIM 和 DT 集成推进和优化运维流程的路线图，为该领域做出贡献。
