  The field of conlang has evidenced an important growth in the last decades.
This has been the product of a wide interest in the use and study of conlangs
for artistic purposes. However, one important question is what it is happening
with conlang in the academic world. This paper aims to have an overall
understanding of the literature on conlang research. With this we aim to give a
realistic picture of the field in present days. We have implemented a
computational linguistic approach, combining bibliometrics and network analysis
to examine all publications available in the Scopus database. Analysing over
2300 academic publications since 1927 until 2022, we have found that Esperanto
is by far the most documented conlang. Three main authors have contributed to
this: Garv\'ia R., Fiedler S., and Blanke D. The 1970s and 1980s have been the
decades where the foundations of current research have been built. In terms of
methodologies, language learning and experimental linguistics are the ones
contributing to most to the preferred approaches of study in the field. We
present the results and discuss our limitations and future work.
