Abstract

The introduction is the section of the article where the study is based. It includes the magnitude of the problem, background, justification and objectives. The introduction is supported by specialized, quality and updated bibliographic references. The introduction is the section that reflects the quality of the article, from the writing technique, critical analysis of the background, management and/or handling of scientific information.  It requires an important effort, and is perfectible with critical revisions during the process of research and publication.
