Abstract: Abstract The scoping review is a relatively new method for identifying a particular topic in a certain field, but not yet used in construction industry research. The purpose of this scoping review is to provide an overview of existing research into system dynamics (SD) in the construction industry. The study identifies a total of 71 related articles published from 1998 to 2018. The results show that (1) 20.97% of the articles cover construction safety management and risk control; (2) 14.52% cover construction waste and waste disposal methods; (3) 75.81% use independent SD simulation models. The SD method, with an extensive range of applications and strong modelling ability, has a positive significance for research into construction process management and long-term development planning.
