Introduction: Describes the research problem, the point of view from which it will be addressed, and the interest of the topic for the area of research, and the reader. The objective of the manuscript should be indicated in the final paragraph.
Materials and Methods: describes the process that was used to solve the research question. It will describe population, sample and types of sample allocation, population characteristics (sex, age), as well as the type of study and analysis, evaluation methods and instruments used and its validity. Similarly should describe the statistical methods with enough detail so that a versed on the subject with access to the original data, the reader can verify the findings are reported. Specify any computer program, commonly used, that has been used.
The ethical conditions of the study should be specified. If it is a question of studies with human populations, indicate whether the ethical standards of the committee (institutional or regional) responsible for supervising human tests, and the Helsinki Declaration of 1975 as amended in 2004, were followed. In the case of animal studies, indicate whether the guidelines of the institution or of a national research council have been followed, or whether any national laws on the care and use of laboratory animals have been taken into account. The presentation of original Colombian investigations must comply with Resolution 8430 of 1993 of the Ministry of Social Protection, and the investigations of other countries must fall under the Declaration of Helsinki. Statistical methods should also be described in sufficient detail so that a reader versed in the subject with access to the original data can verify the findings being reported. Specify any commonly used computer program used.
Results: Summarize the results of the study. The use of tables or original figures is required to facilitate the presentation and adequate visualization of the data, hence the need for them to be clear. It is also important to avoid repeating the information that appears in the tables or figures (no more than four), in the text. It can be written in the present so that the findings are considered scientific evidence, or in the past as part of a previously realized process.
Discussion: The analysis of the research question in the light of the results should should be presented in the analysis. How the results were obtained, and if a hypothesis was put forward should be explicitly stated whether the results support it or not. The results are compared with those of other investigations from primary information sources. Brief improvements to the research itself or to new research can be suggested briefly. The discussion section addresses the contribution, or contributions, of research or reflection. It must be written in the present, in order to support the actuality and evidence of the results.
Conclusions: Should coincide with the objectives, results, and discussion. The article should present the contributions made by the research, whether in the form of carrying out the processes, conceiving the ideas or understanding a situation. Likewise, the limitations of research, and the new perspectives created in the field of research, must be made clear.
Recommendations: are optional, and are used in cases where researchers want to emphasize the limitations and new problems generated with the conclusions drawn.
