UAV Applications in Cultural Heritage: A Bibliometric Review, 2005 to 2025

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: This dataset contains the bibliographic corpus used for a systematic bibliometric review of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications in Cultural Heritage. The corpus comprises 1,245 Scopus-indexed publications covering the period 2001–2025. Each record includes bibliographic metadata and manually coded information on the Cultural Heritage domain, research objective, and UAV sensor category, including RGB, multispectral, thermal, LiDAR, GPR/magnetometry, and other sensors. The dataset was compiled and screened as part of the research to be presented in the book chapter “UAV Applications in Cultural Heritage: A Bibliometric Review, 2005 to 2025”. It is provided to support transparency, reproducibility, and further research on the use of UAV technologies in Cultural Heritage.
