5.1. Marco theoretician. Is a written

documents describing the past and
current state of knowledge about the
problem of study. It helps to document
how our research adds value to the
existing literature. Once raised the
problem of study, i.e., when already have
objectives and research questions, and in
addition it has evaluated its feasibility, the
next step is to theoretically support study,
phase, which some authors call
theoretical framework development.

5.2. Methodological-framework Is a clear

and concise manner of each of the
stages of the research. In general terms,
the methodological design is the
description of how to carry out the
investigation.

5.3. Analysis and interpretation of

results. Data analysis procedure includes
the following steps:
Decision making with respect to perform
analyses (statistical tests)
The plan of analysis
Implementation of the plan
 Get the results

to the Center. By applying the style 'Title 2'
Write paragraphs or bullets, 3 to 5 conclusions,
except needed more.

7. Recommendations. Recommendations, a
research study are aimed at providing
suggestions to the light results,
recommendations in this respect are addressed:
to. Suggest, regarding how to improve
the methods study
b. Suggest actions specific on the basis of the
consequences
c. Suggestions for future research
So that the recommendations must be consistent
with findings and results with the research purposes.

8. Bibliography
There must be a direct correspondence between
citations and bibliographic references. It is
advisable, as seen in issue II, theoretical
framework, each bibliographic tab write the
reference, according to established standards, for
 building the bibliography section for steps at the
end. An unwritten rule says that... "CITES made a
bibliographical reference.

The evaluation of the monograph must be based on
the following parameters of the header of
