The international standard for land administration, LADM, ISO 19152, has been the subject of numerousresearch activities during the last one and a half decade, with topics ranging from technical implementa-tion issues and the registration of real property to legal and organisational aspects. However, some areashave been more researched than others.The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the research as evidenced by research publications2001–2015 to discuss the distribution of interest areas within LADM research.In total 184 publications on LADM have been analysed in the study. The result shows that technical andreal property registration issues have been in focus throughout the surveyed period, whereas there hasbeen less focus on research on legal and organisational matters. There has, however, in recent years beenan slight increase in legal research, whereas research on organisational matters, such as efficiency andhow to organise and manage interests in land and the benefits and costs for implementing the standard,still is lacking in comparison with the other investigated fields of research, and should be an importantarea to research now during the implementation phase of LADM.
