3.1 Research topics of Daniele Treccani
Main Keyword 1 : GIS
(#1) TS = GIS : 163,111
I notice that some thousands of articles are from medicine-area, so I exclude those categories:
(#2) TS = TITLE-ABS-KEY ( gis ) AND ( EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "MEDI" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "BIOC" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "PHAR" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "IMMU" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "NEUR" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "NURS" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "VETE" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "DENT" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "HEAL" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "PSYC" ) ) : 109,935
GIS in combination with heritage and built environment
I'm interested mainly in GIS connected to built environment or cultural/historic heritage. Let's start refining the search with "gis" and ("built environment" OR a generical "heritage")
(#3) TS = (#2) AND ("built environment" OR heritage) : 1,622
What happen if I use AND instead of OR ?
(#4) TS = (#2) AND ("built environment" AND heritage) : 14
very low
I keep using OR as in (#3) but I now try by using "historic heritage" instead of simply "heritage"
(#5) TS = (#2) AND ("built environment" OR "historic heritage") : 434
And if I use "cultural heritage" instead of "historic heritage"?
(#6) TS = (#2) AND ("built environment" or "cultural heritage") : 1,046
I think a good starting point for the SOA could be the combination
(#7) TS = (#5) OR (#6) : 1,067
or just (#3)
but they're still more or less 1 towsand of results
GIS in combination with BIM
Coming back to (#2) I now try a different path: GIS and BIM togheter
(#8) TS = (#2) AND BIM : 269
As in previous point (#3), I want to focus on heritage and built environment
(#9) TS = (#8) AND ("built environment" OR "heritage") : 40
very low
Maybe it's better to keep just #7, but what's happen with (GIS OR BIM) instead of GIS AND BIM?
(#10) TS = (#2) OR BIM AND ("built environment" OR "heritage") : 1,857
Main keyword 2 : "BUILT ENVIRONMENT"
I can now try a different path, by starting from a different keyword, but by ending up more or less with a similar result.
(#11) TS = "built environment" : 122,309
As for step #2 in GIS, I remove all the categories of med-area
(#12) TS = "built environment" AND ( EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "CENG" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "CHEM" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "BIOC" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "PSYC" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "NURS" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "HEAL" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "IMMU" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "PHAR" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "NEUR" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "VETE" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "DENT" ) ) : 109,251
I'm mainly interested in the cultural/ hisotorical heritage part orf the whole built environment, so I add them to the search:
(#13) TS = (#12) AND ("cultural heritage" OR "historical heritage") : 2,541
I want to manage the built environment, so I add "Management" to previous step:
(#14) TS = (#13) AND management : 1,489
I want to manage the built environment by means of GIS or BIM systems, so I try first by adding only BIM, then only GIS, then both:
(#15A) TS = (#14) AND BIM : 127
(#15B) TS = (#14) AND GIS : 219
(#15C) TS = (#14) AND BIM AND GIS : 53
FInal result
Considering all the searches performed, I think that the one that better represent the purpose of the search is putting togheter results from #15A and #15B, that correspond to
(#16) TS = (#14) AND (BIM OR GIS) : 299
[
"built environment" AND ("cultural heritage" OR "historical heritage") AND management AND (bim OR GIS) AND ( EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"CENG" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"CHEM" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"BIOC" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"PSYC" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"NURS" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"HEAL" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"IMMU" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"PHAR" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"NEUR" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"VETE" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA,"DENT" ) )

Parallel work, on Excel file
For each search described above I have derived and copied from the Scopus filters the main authors, journals and affiliations (the first 10 in the filter, sorted by higher number of papers).
After some reasoning on the resulting excel file, I report here some of the most recurrent:
(note that the total number of research is 27, here I report in how many search the item appears)
