For further understanding of the researches and applications of BIM technology in engineering project management, the paper studies 688 related literature from 2015 to 2022 included in the CNKI database and applies CiteSpace 6.1.R2 to visually analyze the number of publications, authors, research institutions, keywords, etc. in this field. The results show that in terms of the number of publications, the time distribution of literature publication has experienced three stages: germination, growth and maturity. The number of publications in 2018~2019 has increased significantly, which notes that domestic scholars are extremely enthusiastic about BIM technology in engineering project management during this period. In terms of collaborative networks, it lacks of cooperation and close contact between the authors and research institutions, , which needs to be strengthened; As to keyword analysis, the high-frequency keywords include project management, construction engineering, application, etc. Through the analysis of emerging words, it is known that integrated applications and safety management are the hot issues, which is likely to be the trends for the following studies.
