Resumen
The research effort requires financial resources, which are, partly, public. Enhancing the
efficiency in the use of public resources could provide some compensation to Society for this
kind of investment. For this reason, it is relevant to understand the specific dynamics of
academia. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the knowledge diffusion
process in the Brazilian Scientific field. To carry out the research, we applied bibliometric and
sociometric analysis to address the evolution of the data envelopment analysis (DEA)
technique, largely applied in the public sector. It consists of an objective, quantitative and,
longitudinal study, with descriptive and explanatory purposes. Our main result is the
relevance of the master’s and doctoral programs for DEA's diffusion. Finding this result was
possible due to the methodological path adopted, different from other researches.
