In recent years, the use of decision support systems for selecting sustainable construction materials in the building and commercial construction projects has received a great deal of attention. This paper reports an in-depth and systematic bibliometric analysis of the literature using Decision Support Systems (DSSs) for its construction, based on the papers published during the period from 2000 to 2016. The data were collected from two major databases, Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, which included 2185 and 3233 peer reviewed articles, respectively. The analysis includes a general bibliometric analysis (publications output, country-wise research output, authorship, and collaboration patterns of these published articles). It also includes a citation analysis (keywords, most cited keywords, organizations, most cited articles, and average citations per article) and a network analysis (authors and countries). Overall, this study provides bibliometric insights and future research directions for researchers and practitioners who use DSSs.
