Bibliographic Dataset for: Mapping the Global Research Trends and Emerging Frontiers in Remote Sensing and GIS Applications for Silk Road Archaeology (2002–2025)

This deposit contains the raw bibliographic search-export files (lens-silk.csv, n=358 records; lens-silk2.csv, n=682 records) retrieved from Lens.org (lens.org), and the final cleaned dataset (MASTER_cleaned_dataset.csv, n=175 documents) used for the bibliometric analysis reported in the accompanying manuscript. Records were deduplicated using the Lens ID field, screened for topical relevance to Silk Road archaeology, and analysed using VOSviewer (version 1.6.20).
