INTRODUCTION
The introduction should contextualize the study within the relevant theoretical and practical framework, providing a well-founded and updated background. The research problem should be clearly stated, justifying its scientific relevance and impact. In addition, the general and specific objectives should be defined, as well as the hypothesis when appropriate. It is recommended to avoid the inclusion of unnecessary data or results of the study. Citing appropriately the research work of other authors.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
It is written in the past tense, accurately describing the methodology used to ensure the replicability of the study. The research design (experimental, observational, descriptive, among others), the geographical location of the study, the characteristics of the setting, the population and the sample size, as well as the selection criteria as appropriate, should be specified. In addition, the data collection procedures, the instruments and tools used, the statistical analysis methods and the software programs employed should be detailed. Any omission that would prevent validation of the results should be avoided.
RESULTS
The results should be presented in an objective, clear and concise manner, avoiding subjective interpretations. It is recommended that quantitative data be presented in tables and figures, which should be duly numbered and titled, preceded by a brief description of the data.
Tables should not duplicate information that is already in the form of figures. They can have a column width (8 cm) or two columns (16 cm) and their length cannot exceed 25 cm. They should be included at the end of the manuscript and should be numbered in Arabic numerals. In the text they should always be cited in full (e.g., Observing Table 2... or, the results (Table 2) have no differences...) and never in abbreviated form (Tab. 2 or Tab. 2). Table legends should be presented in the same language as the manuscript. Vertical lines should not be used and the headings of each column should be brief.
Figures should be included after the tables. They should be numbered in Arabic with explanatory text at the bottom. They should be cited in the same way as tables. Figures that are images should have a minimum quality of 300 ppi and be sent in JPG format. Authors should ensure that the originals have the necessary font size and line thickness to be interpretable and legible when reduced. Figures that are graphical expressions of data should be sent in Excel format or in the format in which the graph was created. Figures will not be accepted.
