Inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Parameter of Selection of a Paper Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria Rationale for Inclusion–Exclusion
Language English Rest of language The researchers and the preponderance of the readership can readily understand English
Year 2000–2021 Published before 2000 and after 2021 Only a few articles were published before 2000, and investigations after 2021 are underway
Journal index Indexed in Scopus and other academic databases Other indexed articles Articles must take samples from different citations such that a possibility exists that the same article is listed in various places. Therefore, duplicated articles in other citations must be excluded from the sample. The study uses Scopus as the threshold; therefore, the publications used are only international publications indexed under the Q1–Q4 categories (Scopus), whose validity was obtained through Scimagojr.com
Keywords Keywords that are directly connected to the study. All papers should be added No exclusion The main discussion of the articles must be about PPP in broadband infrastructure. The article is only included if one of the three categories is fulfilled.
Duplication and completeness No inclusion Excluded

Duplicates that are found in two or more academic databases are excluded

The study is checked for data completeness. If the entire article is unavailable or only an abstract is present, it is also excluded from the sample
