Literature reviews
An academic study that brings together, critically examines, and systematizes existing scientific production on a specific topic, with the purpose of identifying advances, trends, gaps, and debates in the field. Unlike an empirical research article, it does not generate original data, but organizes and evaluates published literature—articles, books, reports, and other academic documents—to provide a comprehensive, well-grounded, and updated overview that serves as a basis for future research and as a reference for decision-making in the discipline.

Extended poster
A mode of academic communication that combines the graphic and synthetic features of a poster with the structural rigor of a short article. Its purpose is to present, in a clear, concise, and visually organized manner, the objectives, theoretical foundations, methodology, preliminary or final results, and conclusions of a research project, supported by graphic resources that facilitate understanding and enhance impact. Unlike a conventional poster, the extended poster includes a written document with greater textual development, bibliographic references, and is subject to academic peer review, which grants it the status of a peer-reviewed short academic publication.
Structure:
-
Article title (maximum 20 words), subtitle (optional).
-
Authors’ names, ORCID, affiliation, city, country, email address.
-
Abstract in Spanish, English, and Portuguese (200 words), along with keywords in each language (five to ten, according to the UNESCO Thesaurus).
