Abstract
This study looked at the state-of-the-art present knowledge base and trends in the area of using rejuvenators in reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) by systemic analysis and visualisation using VOSviewer and Scopus analyser; a total of 1872 studies were mined from the Scopus database for the purpose of this study. This quantitative approach to the review of literature removes author bias. The study was able to identify keywords and their cluster groups making up of core research domains ((1) asphalt binder composition and properties, (2) reclaimed asphalt mixtures (recycling), (3) reclaimed asphalt performance characteristics, (4) reclaimed asphalt sustainability, (5) rejuvenating agents and their performance, and (6) area of application). The study was able to identify the top authors; their document counts and citations; the most influential journals, institutions, and countries leading the way in the research domain; and the link between these authors and keywords within the existing body of literature in the research area. This study will help policymakers in identifying the main research themes and possible area of investments for further research in RAP. This study will also be a valuable compendium to researchers who intend to broaden the scope of the research area.
