Consequently, the article must contain in its structure the characterization of the problem, the type of research, data collection processes and instruments, data analysis techniques, results, conclusions or discussion and, theoretical references.
- Documented reflection: refers to a writing where authors analyse, discuss and propose ideas concerning a subject for which has not been made a methodical scientific work or, often, there is no organized or systematized information, so requires works to contribute to deepening in comprehension of diverse problems. This type of document should describe the set of sources that support writing indicating selection criteria, in order to provide enough background to contextualize the topic on past and present literature.

- Chronicle of experience: refers to the narrative of an educational intervention made with the purpose of improving or analysing teaching and learning practices in the field of science education (physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy) and mathematics. Such intervention can be at any educational level and, in formal non-formal or informal education. Document structure should contain objectives of the experience, contents worked, intervention or interactional methodology, results and, theoretical references.
