Abstract

In the last years, the movement of researchers in the field of Science Education in Europe has ex - pressed a growing interest in methodological and epistemological questions about the systematic literature review. In this sense, it is our intention to contribute to an approach to the along path already travelled by other research areas such as the Medical Sciences. In this this paper will be pre - sented the concept of Systematic Literature Review and its operationalization through the explana - tion of the research process determined from a properly specified protocol. The data selection based on the definition of strict criteria and objectives, guided up by procedures as far as possible from personal beliefs or subjective evaluations influenced by geographic coordinates or by the belonging to a particular academic community. Digital resources such as online databases, EndNote NVivo support all the process of conception and realization of a Systematic Literature Review.
