In this sense, performance evaluation is presented as a tool that can contribute to the prioritization of projects and a better public resources allocation. In order to elicitate the knowledge on the topic of performance evaluation in the public sector, this paper presents a process for selecting the most outstanding articles and through this process, we analyze the quantitative parameters of the relevant articles on the topic.
