Biogas and biofuels have emerged as viable alternatives to meet the targets established by the Paris Agreement. Considering the numerous variables involved in biogas production and the need to understand growth opportunities, technological improvements, and policies aimed at stabilizing the sector, a bibliographic review was conducted, analyzing 145 scientific articles. This analysis revealed a research gap related to biogas, energy generation, and the application of multicriteria decision-making methods. This study aims to contribute to filling this gap through the application of a multicriteria model designed to assist public decision-makers in selecting among three conversion pathways for biogas and biofuel production: pyrolysis, covered lagoon biodigester, and continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) biodigester. These alternatives were evaluated based on environmental, social, economic, and technical criteria, applying the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) methods. The AHP method was used to rank the criteria and their respective sub-criteria, while the TOPSIS method helped select the alternative closest to the “ideal positive solution” among the conversion routes analyzed. The ranking results showed that environmental and social criteria received the highest scores compared to technical and economic criteria.

Este estudo tem como objetivo levantar o estado da arte acerca do compliance na Administração Pública produzido no meio científico nacional e a compreensão da sua abrangência. A abordagem utilizada foi quantitativa e descritiva, através da pesquisa bibliográfica para coleta de dados. Buscou-se analisar periódicos selecionados da biblioteca eletrônica SPELL com a utilização da técnica de análise de conteúdo. A relevância do estudo está em analisar o estado da arte do compliance presente na administração pública e relacioná-lo com as leis bibliométricas e a verificação da rede de autoria, pois há diversos estudos e levantamentos do compliance, mas voltados para a administração privada. Como resultado observou-se que a Revista de Administração Pública foi o periódico que mais publicou sobre o tema, houve um crescimento das publicações ao longo dos anos, sendo 2019 e 2020, os anos com mais publicações. Observou-se que há aplicabilidade da lei de Lotka nos artigos analisados, porém não houve aplicabilidade da lei de Bradfort e de Zipf. A rede de autoria possui uma densidade de 0.037, considerada como uma rede fraca. A seguinte pesquisa contribui para mapear e identificar as produções, sua evolução ao longo dos anos, as contribuições e redes entre os autores e traz o levantamento dos artigos mais citados no cenário nacional na área do Compliance, sendo este um roteiro básico para os pesquisadores que desejam iniciar a pesquisa na área.

Objective: The objective of this study is to survey the state of the art of Public Administration Compliance in the national scientific domain, analyzing its scope, evolution, and authorship network. Problem: While there are several studies and surveys on Compliance, they are primarily aimed at the private administration, with limited attention given to its application in the public sector. As such, this study aims to address the gap in knowledge regarding Compliance in Public Administration and contribute to the understanding of its current state of the art in the national context. Method: This study employs a quantitative and descriptive approach, utilizing bibliographic research to collect data. The content analysis technique was applied to selected scientific journals from the SPELL electronic library to analyze the state of the art of Compliance in Brazilian Public Administration. The study also utilizes bibliometric laws to verify the authorship network and identify trends in publication over the years. Results: The study identified the Revista de Administração Pública as the journal that most reported on the subject, with a significant growth in publications over the years, particularly in 2019 and 2020. The analyzed articles fitted Lotka's law, but there was no applicability of Bradfort's and Zipf's law. The authorship network had a density of 0.037, which is considered weak. The study also identified the most cited articles on Compliance in the national domain, serving as an introductory guide for researchers in this area. Conclusions: This study contributes to the mapping and identification of the state of the art of Compliance in Brazilian Public Administration, highlighting its evolution over the years, the contributions, and the authorship network. The findings serve as a useful guide for researchers in this area and provide insights into the current state of knowledge on the subject in the national context.
