With the changes that have taken place in the world scenario, social differences have intensified and, in some countries, there are issues that need special attention. In this context, organized civil society and business initiatives with social objectives emerge, which are embodied in the so-called Third Sector. This study seeks to understand the state of the art of the construct "Third Sector" in the last five years, from 2013 to 2017, through a literature review of scientific publications, on the Web of Science Platform, which includes more than 21,000 academic journals, from worldwide, peer-reviewed. For this investigation, the bibliographic survey on the central theme was used as a research strategy, analyzing the contents available in the Current Contents Connect database. In this criteria, 64 works were found, being selected the thirty most cited works, which deal with the Third Sector construct, among them 78% published in England, 95% of which were published around economics, business, and public administration areas, thus showing an emerging research potential. It is necessary to expand the research carried out on organizations that work in the Third Sector, in order to cover other realities in addition to those presented in this paper.
