The protection of cultural heritage begins with a difficult documentation process that requires the collection and processing of many data and the collaboration of experts from different disciplines. Today, Building Information Modeling (BIM) which allows a threedimensional (3D) virtual representation of buildings and their surroundings together with materials, textures, etc., and can work integrated with data collection methods such as terrestrial laser scanners (TLS), has also started to be used in cultural heritage structures. Called as Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM), this system includes the documentation process in which a 3D representation of the architectural heritage is created by parametrically modeling together with its historical data, in order to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage. In this study, in order to examine the change and development of the "modeling tools" used from past to present by revealing the conceptual framework, requirements and stages of the HBIM system a bibliometric research has been conducted. Accessed from the Web of Science database through the relevant keywords of 146 articles published between 2008 and 2021 have been evaluated. The results of the study have been shared by scientific mapping analysis of articles focusing on modeling.
