<![CDATA[This study offers an extensive bibliometric analysis of critical chain project management (CCPM) research over the past twenty years, seeking to elucidate the discipline’s developmental trajectory and pinpoint emerging research frontiers. A comprehensive review of the literature revealed fundamental principles of CCPM, highlighting essential components such as buffer management strategies and resource-constrained scheduling methodologies. This initial analysis established the theoretical framework for the quantitative study and facilitated the identification of suitable metrics to integrate both foundational theories and contemporary advancements in CCPM scholarship. The study examined approximately 1,800 academic publications, including journal articles, conference proceedings, review papers, and book chapters published from 2000-2022, obtained from the Scopus database. The analytical framework encompassed various bibliometric dimensions, including performance metrics, relationship indicators, conceptual frameworks, publication characteristics, and VOSviewer network analysis, as essential elements of the data examination process. The developed framework has two main goals: it helps researchers find important publications, potential collaborators, and new areas of research, and it gives practitioners a structured place to store information about how to use CCPM methods in complicated projects with few resources.]]>
