Abstract
The present work reviews literature on public transparency in Brazil published from 1990 to 2017. The objectives were to identify different forms of transparency, identify the outcomes of public transparency, and which outcomes were achieved. The research involved five electronic databases and did not establish search limitations related to journal status or research design. The results show growing academic interest in the subject; the predominance of empirical research on municipal and executive entities; focus on budget transparency and evaluation of electronic websites; and limited research on the outcomes of public transparency. Theoretical researches about Brazil evaluate transparency´s outcomes better than researches from other countries, suggesting that different contexts lead to different interpretations of its impact. Although public transparency is part of the Brazilian research agenda, empirical research must improve its methodological approach, address other forms of transparency, and investigate the outcomes of public transparency.
