There has been a notable surge in scholarly interest in public-private partnerships (PPP), their forms, models and role in the development of social infrastructure. The growing body of research on PPPs makes bibliometric analysis in this area a pertinent task. This study focuses on the literature on PPPs published between 2000 and 2021 and indexed by Scopus, Google Scholar, and Crossref. The study examines the evolution and structure of publication activity and trends in co-authorship as well as reciprocal citation relationships between articles. The top cited publications, authors and journals are identified. We have also conducted a semantic analysis of publication titles and keyword co-occurrence relationships, building a co-occurrence map in VOSviewer software. These research results can be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of public-private partnerships.
The statements, opinions and data contained in the journal are solely those of the individual authors and contributors and not of the publisher and the editor(s). We stay neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
