Trabajo de grado: elaborar y publicar sus resultados. Una guía para lograrlo

Abstract

The book entitled: Thesis: writing and publishing its results. A guide to success, seeks to offer students at various university academic levels a clear and easy-to-understand route so that they can successfully complete their degree work and later socialize the knowledge generated. Likewise, it aims to be support material for new researchers (teachers and students) and a reference for the mentoring work of career researchers. It is an unpretentious book, presented from an open perspective on the ways of doing science, without transgressing paths already taken, which uses scientific language, addressed to the reader in the first person. The structure of the book is made up of two parts: Part A. Structure of the thesis, is divided into chapters that offer, through an organization and guiding example, a route to prepare the thesis. In this way, five chapters are offered: How to approach the research problem effectively?, Theoretical and contextual foundation (with two chapters), Methodological framework of the research and Results. How to analyze and present them? Part B. Socialization of research results, presents two chapters: 1. From the thesis to the scientific article: principles, criteria and strategies for its preparation, and 2. Formal and structural qualities of academic works. Both focused on offering guidelines to move from thesis to publication in scientific journals, giving the opportunity to share not only the findings but the general approach to the research. This entails making available to the reader elements that serve to expose problem situations, offer possible solutions, promote decision-making around the findings or serve as a basis to continue delving deeper into the topic of interest.
