It was possible to identify four analysis category. 1. Relevance, merit, originality; 2. Composition of the articles (division in sections; presence of summary, key words and abstract; 3. Patterning (references, foot-note, picture insertion, charts and tables); and 4. Content (objectives, treatment procedure and analysis, result presentation, and so on).
