Abstract

The analysis of social networks applied to scientific production can contribute to the understanding of the evolution of knowledge and favor interpretation. The field of interest of scientific production is the efficiency of public health. The objective of the article is to analyze the social networks of scientific production in public health efficiency. The study was carried out through a systematic literature review and analysis of social networks of scientific production. The results showed that the discussion about the efficiency of public health is not a recent topic and has been following the evolution of health systems. The prominent authors were Cooper, Charnes, Ozcan, Hollingswort, Rhodes, Banker and Fare, considered intermediate authors in the research field. The discussion along the theme was accompanied by the discussion of the efficiency analysis mechanisms, which also evolved over time. It can be understood that efficiency can be the way to optimize resources in order to better meet the needs of the population.
