  • METHODOLOGY: Describes, clearly and objectively, the type of research, the technical procedures adopted (methods, data collection and analysis techniques), the universe or sample studied, the time, and the location of the investigation. It must allow for the reproducibility of the study. In theoretical studies, this description may be incorporated into the introduction.
  • RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Presents the data obtained in the research, in an organized manner (using tables, graphs, or charts, if necessary), and discusses them in light of the relevant scientific literature. It should articulate the analysis of the results with the objectives of the study and with the adopted theoretical framework.
