Essay
Between 25 y 35 pages
The scientific essay is an exercise in arguing ideas around a question, objective or central hypothesis. It is a reflective exercise where the author presents arguments supported by theory and/or first-hand empirical references, in a clear and coherent manner. The essay is made up of three parts: introduction, arguments and conclusions.
The introduction clearly and briefly defines the question, objective or central hypothesis that guides the discussion. The arguments are the body of the essay. These are supported by empirical evidence and/or theory that respond to the hypothesis or central question to lead us to our own reflections on the topic addressed. The essay is a supported point of view that provides an original and rich discussion that contributes to the knowledge of the topic addressed, where the author shows a reflective exercise based on a diverse, current and strictly scientific field bibliography. The conclusions recover the central arguments of the essay to take them to a higher state of reflection.
