The main objective of this study was to identify which sources of evidence the Brazilian Federal Public Administration (FPA) uses in the production of public policies process. Based on descriptive and multivariate statistical analysis, information obtained from 2,000 civil workers were explored on the use of evidence, considering the categorization of these bureaucrats according to: (1) Demographic characteristics, (2) types of roles in public policy, (3) different organs in federal public administration, (4) types of position and (5) public policy areas. The results indicate that, on average, depending on the role played in public policy and on the public policy area, different sources of evidence are used. In addition, the organs differ in the degree of recurrence to these sources.
Keywords: Analytical Capacity, Sources of Evidences, Public Policy, Civil Service, Public Administration.
