REVIEW ARTICLE
They are articles where the authors (maximum three) analyze a topic exhaustively, from their first appearances in the world bibliography, to the current state of art of the subject, and they should make contributions of their own experience and knowledge which provide a better understanding of the subject of the problem addressed. It is not only a passive and more or less detailed revision of the bibliography literature, but an active review that nurtures with something else that everyone could obtain by reading what was previously published. Hence, they can include tables and explanatory illustrations.
