Background of Information on the Sample

As stated in the method section, an exhaustive search was carried out via SCOPUS search engine which covered a wide range of peer-reviewed journals. Table 1 shows a summary of the 16 journals that have published at least one (1) article on sustainability measurement for infrastructure projects. Based on the data presented in Table 1, it is evident that the systematic literature review, reported here, is multidisciplinary in nature. The majority of the papers were published in either sustainability or construction management journals. However, it is important to note
