Transparency as a Tool in Building Efficient Public Institutions: A Bibliometric Study

Abstract

We aim to identify aspects of public transparency in the literature and its influence on the efficiency of public management. For this purpose, a bibliometric study of works published in scientific journals available in the Scopus database was carried out. Initially, 74 academic works were identified using the keywords "transparency", "public governance" and "efficient institutions" after this first filtering, it was restricted only to scientific articles aligned with the theme, generating the final base of 27 articles that were analyzed. quantitatively and qualitatively using the frequency count of the data, finally a word cloud and similarity analysis was carried out with the support of the Iramuteq textual analysis software. Among the main contributions of this article, the understanding of how the works of different origins, years and authors came together in an academic collection that allows us to understand how the authors see public governance and transparency in the construction of efficient institutions.
