Comprehensive analysis techniques, including bibliographic data and visualization with VoSviewer, are employed to unveil collaborative networks, influential articles, research trends, and emerging themes within this domain. Global contributions are showcased, with citations predominantly from the UK and USA, while Denmark and Australia demonstrate a significant impact relative to publication numbers. Prominent authors like Buswell, Mechtcherine, and Zhang are highlighted through co-authorship analysis, revealing evolving collaborative patterns over time. Seminal works and influential authors are identified through co-citation analysis, providing insights into intellectual networks. Source citation analysis emphasizes the importance of sustainability and advanced manufacturing methods through key journals in the field. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identifies the core themes, including 3D concrete printing, additive manufacturing, and sustainability. Emerging trends indicate a growing focus on sustainability and adopting advanced manufacturing technologies. These insights have implications for future research, guiding impactful contributions in this evolving field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/buildings14030802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,15]],"date-time":"2024-03-15T14:05:25Z","timestamp":1710511525000},"page":"802","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Bibliometric Analysis of Personalized 3D-Printed Concrete-Based Modules for Construction: Leveraging the Ordinatio Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0235-2515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00e1ssia","family":"Latorraca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FEUP\u2014Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8467-6264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Sofia","family":"Guimar\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT\u2014LFC, Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5911-9423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B\u00e1rbara","family":"Rangel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Architecture (FAUP), Center for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism (CEAU), University of Porto, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2109","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-015-1744-x","article-title":"Methodi Ordinatio: A Proposed Methodology to Select and Rank Relevant Scientific Papers Encompassing the Impact Factor, Number of Citations, and Year of Publication","volume":"105","author":"Pagani","year":"2015","journal-title":"Scientometrics"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Web of Science (2023, August 09).
