    "abstract": "Throughout history, earth as one of the most basic building materials of architecture, has stood out as a culturally and environmentally sustainable resource thanks to its local availability, compatibility with natural cycles and renewability. Increasing environmental concerns and the search for sustainability have led to the re-evaluation of traditional earthen structures and their use as an alternative solution in modern architecture with contemporary techniques. In this study, academic research on rammed earth in the context of sustainable building materials is analyzed through performance analysis. Based on publications obtained from the Web of Science database, publication trends by year, most influential authors, institutions and countries are analyzed. The data obtained reveals that the topic of rammed earth has been addressed with increasing interest, especially in recent years, and has become an interdisciplinary research area.  The study provides a holistic view of the place of rammed earth in sustainable architecture and aims to be a guiding resource for future research in the field.  ",
