The objective of the present study is to present the characteristics of international scientific publications related to the adoption of innovations in public administration through electronic systems. As a research instrument, Proknow-C was used. After applying filters for title, abstract, full reading and scientific recognition to 2,190 articles, the Final Bibliographic Portfolio (BP) was consisted of 30 articles. The results showed that: i) authors Sang, S., Lee, J. D., and Lee, J., stood out in Primary BP and Carter, L., Ismail, M., Razak, R. C. and Sallehudin, H, stood out in the BP references; ii) the journal Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy stood out both in the BP and in the article references; iii) the article with the greatest scientific recognition was that of Carter and Belanger (2005) with 2,827 citations; iv) the most used keywords were: public sector (7), innovation (6), and cloud computing (4); v) the strongest co-authorship networks were composed by authors Sang, S., Lee, J.D., and Lee, J.; and Bakar, N.A.A.; vi) United Kingdom stands out with the largest network of connections and the largest number of published articles; vii) regarding the co-citation network, the articles by Davis (1989) andCarter & Belanger (2005) stand out. Thus, this study contributes to the proposition of a BP aligned to the theme, whose analysis of the characteristics provides information so that public administrators can base their practices and decisions based on a literature supported by international scientific recognition.
