The research stages range from the formulation of the research question, the focus of the investigation, to the collection and organization of relevant information, using advanced search methods and careful selection of sources. The guide also highlights the importance of correct citation and respect for copyright, preventing plagiarism and promoting academic integrity. At the end, the guide encourages critical reflection on the research process, allowing students to evaluate their performance and identify improvements for future work. Intended for both the academic environment and everyday and professional life, the material promotes autonomy and confidence in the conscious and ethical use of information. With accessible language and practical examples, the guide is an important resource for any student looking to improve their research skills and develop a critical and informed view of the use of information.
