Triads in Scientific Structure and Functionality

Abstract

Human nature has developed many ways of approaching daily issues and problems. One of these methods is the scientific approach, which has allowed mankind to make material progress. The scientific approach is different from the common one because it is based on a method, laws, principles, theories, univocal language and because of the enormous amount of information it needs to process. As a result, university institutions that produce knowledge from research require that projects and research reports be formulated according to certain requirements that are set forth in their academic rules and regulations. Therefore, each university has a unique way of presenting these works, which will depend on the scientific tradition of the institution and the scientific training of its authorities and teachers. At present, these are presented as articles, disregarding the differences between the nature of each type of document. A thesis that is supported in a university is different than an article that is published in a journal; likewise, the format of some works place the conjecture in the research problem chapter; others in the research methodology section; and others in an independent section. When performing an analysis of different sources, it is considered necessary to start from the existing knowledge and present a vision for the study in inquiry triads that allow the researcher to understand the interconnections among the research components, which are typical of a system.
