Abstract

Through the application of bibliometric and social network analysis (SNA) techniques, this study examines the scholarly literature on the intersection of "prefabricated buildings" and "construction safety", utilizing data from CNKI and Web of Science. By employing CiteSpace, a comprehensive analysis was conducted to identify key themes, explore temporal dynamics, and visualize the current state of research, as well as its hotspots and future trends. The results reveal limited collaboration and knowledge exchange among Chinses researchers, with research emphasis primarily centered on influencing factors, construction techniques, and intelligent construction methods. Presently, China is in the developmental phase of prefabricated building research, as evidenced by the increasing volume of studies in this domain. Nevertheless, research on the safety of prefabricated building construction exhibits a highly uneven distribution, necessitating a more refined focus in research directions. The outcomes of this study will offer valuable insights and references for analyzing the frontier and trends in prefabricated building construction safety research.
