Industrialized building system is an innovative building technology that provide faster, cleaner, neater, and more quality construction. Bibliometric quantification has been done to determine the amount of publications for this novel research area considering the scientific literature that are available from the Web of Science and to find the most common terms in this field to enable the researchers to study all the available terms. Bibliometric study is a new trend in scientific publication which statistically analyse the available published scientific paper and provide valuable information about changes in the trends in any field of study. As a result, the researchers have found that the number of publications in the field of industrialized building increased in the last decade. It is also found that the same system has different terms that all represent industrialization of construction among the different countries. Industrialized building or industrialised building, Manufactured homes or Manufactured housing, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), Modular building or Modular construction or Modular houses or modular homes, Offsite Manufacture/Manufacturing, Offsite Construction or Offsite Production or Offsite Fabrication, Prefabrication or Prefabricated and Relocatable homes/houses are different terms that used to refer to the same process that including manufacturing all or some of buildings’ elements and then transport and install them at construction site. The distribution of publications among the countries has been swung. The term of "Prefabrication" or "Prefabricated" is widely used in China and the U.S., whereas, about 70% of the publications that used the term of "Industrialized building" or "Industrialised building" are from Malaysia. Moreover, there is a noticeable increment in the number of countries that conducted researches in this field.
