Abstract
The article investigates the literature review methods and topics that have been applied in construction and project management research. It aims to assess the quality and scope of the existing review articles and to identify the gaps and opportunities for future research in this field. The article uses a scoping review and descriptive analysis to examine the literature review articles published in the last 20 years in academic journals related to construction and project management. It reveals that most review articles adopt a narrative and non-systematic method, which may affect the validity and reliability of the reviews. It also shows that some review methods, such as meta-synthesis and scoping review, are rarely used in this field, despite their potential benefits for synthesizing and analyzing complex and diverse evidence. Furthermore, the article highlights some important areas that have been overlooked by reviewers, such as R&D, project resource management, and artificial intelligence. These areas are essential for enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of the construction and project management trades, as they can offer innovative solutions and insights for addressing the challenges and opportunities in this field. The article suggests that more attention should be given to these areas and to the use of systematic and rigorous review methods in construction and project management research. The article also provides some recommendations for improving the quality and scope of literature reviews in this field.
