A. TYPES OF REVIEWS
The following guidelines are suggestions for reviewing books, but they can
adapt to also review interactive multimedia materials (for example,
CD-ROMs and software related to specific and academic purposes.

B. GENERAL PUBLISHING CRITERIA

One should not forget that a review should analyze and evaluate a book (or a
new interactive multimedia material) in a reasonable and tactful manner.
Try to avoid the use of references. If you need them, please proceed.
the Ibérica conventions, available in the Style Guidelines (see
sections III.6 and III.7).

Regarding the language of your review and presentation criteria, please follow
simply the conventions available in the Style Guidelines
(see sections II.1 and II.2). As a general rule, the review should be
typed double spaced.

The average size of a review for Ibérica should be

approximately 750 words. However, for reviews of a work
important or from a collection of essays, the review can be up to
1500 words.

C. FORMAT OF THE REVIEW

The review consists of bibliographic data, the reviewer's comments, and
the personal information of the reviewer at the end of the document.

C.1. Bibliographic data: Begin the review as follows:

Title of the reviewed book
Author(s) [or editors], place, publisher, year, pages.
ISBN numbers (hardcover/paperback), price in $ / € [leave a line]

Review title, if needed [leave two lines and start your review]

C.2. Review comments: To write serious and well

structured from a book (or from new interactive materials),
consider including the following items:

Description of the nature of the book (whether it is academic, teaching material,

research work, etc.), how it is divided (into chapters, by
) and if it contains bibliography, graphs or any other type of
illustrations.

Summary of the book's objective and its main points.

Evaluation of the strong and weak aspects of the book. In the evaluation, it
can you provide a comment on whether the book is innovative or if

the book presents itself as the main objective.

Recommendation on the audience for which the book was written

(researchers, language students, language teachers for specific purposes)
specifics, etc.) and a comment on the interest that this book has
for that audience.
C.3. Personal information of the reviewer: It must begin with 'Reviewed by',
followed by the name, institutional affiliation, and country.

2.1 The Research Reading.

2.1.1 The Underlining

The Underlining, you must have been told countless times, is fundamental in
a study routine, since it not only helps us memorize the syllabus,
but it is tremendously useful for review. A single glance at the text gives us

essentials that we have highlighted. Thanks to the correct underlining we can:

1.- Knowing what things are important and what things are complementary
2.- Make good summaries and charts that help us solidify the content
3.- Get a quality review without difficulties

The act of underlining responds to the need to highlight things.

underlined you must learn some particularities

What you must underline?

The Titles: They are always underlined since they provide the overall idea of
theme that addresses that part of the book noteso
The Subtitles: They are also always underlined because they provide information.
useful complements to remember the topic being discussed there
The text itself: This is the most difficult, because to obtain a good highlight
you must make three different readings of the text:

1.- First: Fast for to stay with the idea global

2.- Second: Slower in which you underline only the main ideas and titles
subtitles
3. - A third: In which you will underline sentences that make sense on their own. They must
to have a thread that gives them logic, otherwise when it comes time to make the summaries and the
review will have to read everything to know the context. It is about synthesizing the
texts in phrases what you understand.
*Important Note:* The predominant type of underline is stripes, in
different colors (usually, the color red is used to highlight ideas
principles and fundamentals and the blue for the complementary ones)
But if you desire another type of 'marks' for your texts, you should know that
there is also the possibility, used by many people, to use arrows,
the circles, the underlining with fluorescent colors that highlight all the
word. It is essential that you do not start underlining until you understand the
text perfectly, this way you will know exactly what the points are
in which you must influence.

The underlining.

To study it and be able to learn it more easily

The goal of underlining is to highlight the essential ideas of a text.

Later, by reading only what is underlined, one can remember the
content of said text.

The titles of works and the names of magazines and newspapers are underlined.
Likewise, any abbreviation that substitutes for a title in the
footnotes

Word or phrase that is underlined with a line, in italics or

from another different from the employee.

The underlining focuses attention on certain parts of the work that respond to
the reader's needs regarding it; whether it be comprehension and the
study of the whole and its subsequent critical analysis, whether to extract some
an aspect that has attracted attention, either negatively or positively.

"Underlining becomes, over time, an almost automatic action, it must"

avoid excessive use of it, as it loses effectiveness and also becomes almost
illegible texts.

When we underline the most important parts of a text or the main ideas,
this makes it easier for us to study and motivates us to continue the reading process,
we pay more attention to the issue and it minimizes our time when doing
reviews.

The summary: it is one of the most important and key activities within
study. You can do it after having done the underlining and

the summary should be brief but complete with the fundamental ideas and
using your own vocabulary and sentence structuring.
Written in a personal form. You have to use linking particles between the
different paragraphs that produce the logical blazon among them. It is evident
that a good summary depends greatly on the understanding of the text and of the
times you have read it (three are recommended; one fast, another slow with
underlining and another slower one with memorization and analysis.

The summary is used to synthesize the content of a text that must then be
to comment or study. It facilitates better study of the lesson and its understanding and
it also facilitates concentration while you study. With a good set of
summaries of the different lessons you can do a final review very

2.1.5 The scheme or script

The outline is a technique that we have really forgotten about but it provides
a lot of play. It is not a simple technique as it directly depends on
how the underlining and reading were carried out.

A scheme must present the central ideas of the text, highlighted with
clarity. It should present the structure of the text in a simple and logical way. It must have
a clean and clear presentation. The outline highlights the points
main points of the text and the subsections that you consider of interest. They are used
signs to highlight ideas, underlining, uppercase and lowercase letters, colors and
different types of letters. Write it in concise terms.

To work on the outline, it starts from the analytical reading of a text and its
posterior underlined. Start separating each content with dots, dashes, and
underlined. See if what you have written expresses the complete idea of the text without
leave you fundamental data. You can use capital letters to indicate the
fundamental sections and lowercase for important elements

we analyze.

The schema is like a summary but more schematic, simple, and clear.
With a single glance, we can perceive the information that
contains the studied text.

Therefore, from a given text, you can perform the following

activities

Locate the central ideas of the text.

- Underline the words or phrases that highlight those ideas. Underline over
all the keywords.

Note in the margin the central idea of the text and the different paragraphs.

From these activities make the outline of the text, with the front,
expanding it with further readings if necessary.

On the other hand, the synoptic chart is a variant of the diagram that mainly

work; represents, then, its structure or formal skeleton.

It is worth noting that the initial scheme is developed after having carried out
a first informative reading of the available materials; it should be based on,
logically, in the best information that is available at hand at first
moment. In no way should it propose the achievement of goals or tasks
of research that are known to be unlikely or useless from the outset.

The scheme is necessary because it allows:

of the proposed topic.

The description of the scheme consists, as its name indicates, in describing

each of the resulting parts thereof (chapters and sections),
corresponding to the different aspects of the previously chosen topic.

The importance of the description within the work plan lies in that when
carrying it out allows us to confirm our ideas or modify them, because in the
pure scheme we will only see the abstraction and it always turns out perfect.
Similarly, the description also helps us see if each one of the
parts (chapters and sections) of our scheme follow a sequence
logic.

2.1.6 The bibliographic review

The references are a list of the sources that were consulted during the
course of research and manuscript writing. Such references
can range from books to personal communications, and all have to
to be included in the list following a specific format.

The review is a bibliographic report. In principle, we can distinguish between

descriptive and critical review. The description, however, implies a kind of
of criticism because the reviewer selects certain aspects of the work,
positives or negatives, instead of others. Criticism, for its part, implies a
description work.

The reviewer does not assume responsibility for the evaluation of the work,
it only characterizes the critical review, which can be objective or
subjective. The reviewer evaluates the work according to values, norms and
procedures that will allow it to be rationally compared with other texts.

The descriptive bibliographic review consists of briefly mentioning

the outstanding aspects of a content, as well as the characteristics
general aspects of work. Critical or evaluative, as opposed to the description in this
if a decision is made regarding the content of a bibliographic source, it establishes
comparisons of the subject addressed with others presented in other works.

The review is a report on the content and, at times, the quality of a

work, event, or occurrence of any kind.

There are two types of reviews:

Descriptive.- It is a description of the work, event or occurrence without it

author value or rate.

Critique.- In addition to the description of the work, event or occurrence refers

The foundation of all research is the theoretical framework that is obtained from
based on bibliographic sources, so it is essential to establish a relationship
of all the sources that were used for the study

They are also called reference citations or critical sections, as they facilitate the
analysis of the researcher's task; they are also referred to as footnotes
or even bibliographic notes, which is a mistake, as it is just one of the
shapes it can take.

The notes are paragraphs detached from the text of a work that provide a
clarification or an amplification of the content or they inform us of the name of a
author and the work or gives us a reference of the place where we can locate
more information.

they will provide additional information that can be valuable for
some readers without distracting those who are not interested in that information.
notes also aim to give scientific seriousness to the work.

others, invites us to read a certain author to expand the information

a word or a phrase. An edition with footnotes is more
important that the one lacking them.

Likewise, the notes must have a consecutive number throughout the
report and at the end of the document, before the bibliography, a list is placed in
numerical order of all the notes that were included in the text, each one
with its respective clarification.

The separate notes from the text aim to provide information

additional without interrupting the logical sequence of the first.

The most common ones are:

The notes of the content, which refer to the substance of the matter, in the form
incidental.

The cross-reference notes, which draw the reader's attention to other

parts of the writing.

The notes from the source of information that complete the citation, providing the
necessary data to locate the origin of this.

previous but do not want to include it in the text, place the word Note

SUMMARY
Scientific and technical information is an essential resource for
development of every modern nation, but its acquisition proves very
expensive and a country like ours has to seek all ways of
that provides for obtaining it with the least expenditure and in the shortest time
deadline. Every year, numerous Cuban specialists linked to the
 public health sphere attend international congresses that
celebrated in our country or abroad. But the updated information
to which participants in these events generally have access
it is not spread. If those who have the opportunity to attend those

time (4 to 6 months) the knowledge and experiences gained there by
them. The creation of a publishing series of this type, with short print runs and
an agile editing and printing process would make it accessible to everyone
interested parties valuable information due to its relevance, what could be
to constitute a new informational resource for biomedical information, and
that would allow to unveil a fragment of what is known today in the
world of scientific-technical information as 'gray literature'. A
A tangible example of the feasibility of this publishing project is the book
Advances in organ and tissue transplantation, published by the Publisher
Medical Sciences.

One of the decisive aspects to achieve the goal of converting Cuba into
a world medical powerhouse in a short time is to retain its scientists
the researchers updated on everything related to advancements and achievements of
Science and technology in the field of biomedicine.

Having a high level of information and updates is essential.

if one wants to continue improving the high levels reached in terms of the
preservation of health and the quality of life in general for the population, thus
as well as to increase the industrial production of biopreparations and
high-tech medical equipment, fields that contribute more every day to
diversify our trade.

To achieve an adequate level of information, significant efforts must be made.

An appropriate selection of information sources is vital in this

development, or also during it. But other times they are edited with
posteriority and not always the attendees can return to their country with all the
produced documentation. But there is a major inconvenience. According to Mijailov

Scientific-informative activity is referred to as "grey literature". In a brief
note appeared in the Spanish Journal of Scientific Documentation expresses
regarding this:

The term 'grey literature' is used for those documents that are not
spread through the normal channels, thus remaining ignored by most of
the possible users; this is the case of technical research reports,
the doctoral theses, some conferences and official documents, etc.
databases and conventional abstract repositories collect a
very limited amount of this type of literature and as a result it is made
extremely difficult to locate and obtain it.2

Propose a way to make a part of that accessible to our scientists.

"Gray literature" constitutes the purpose of this work.

Participation DE SCIENTISTS CUBANS EN EVENTS

INTERNATIONALS ABROAD

According to inaccurate data, between 1988 and 1990 more than 106 scientists and
Cuban researchers from six randomly selected specialties (pediatrics,
internal medicine, cardiology, geriatrics, endocrinology, and surgery) attended to
different international scientific meetings held outside of our
country (congresses, symposia, conferences events etcetera).
Approximately one third of the attendees participated in events
related to cardiology(39). Of the selected specialties the
the field with the least participation was geriatrics (6), a specialty to which the country
it needs to give a strong boost due to the growing longevity that is already reaching
our population (table 1).

I do not have data regarding the dissemination that the information had in the country.
collected by the attendees of those meetings. But it is reasonable to assume that it was
very limited: maybe some conferences, some articles in publications
national, references in some work, etc.

A VALID EXAMPLE
In September 1989, the original was received at the Medical Sciences Publishing House.
a small book, with the explicit recommendation from the management of the
MINSAP, to proceed with its prompt publication. It was about Advances in the
organ and tissue transplantation, by Sergio Arce Bustabab, immunological and
Full researcher at the Institute of Nephrology.

Arce had participated in the XII International Congress of the Society of

Transplant, held in Sydney, Australia, in August 1988. Upon returning from
his trip considered it of utmost interest to disseminate to the widest possible circle of
your colleagues the information collected there.

In the introductory part of his review, he clarifies how he conceived this task of
diffusion and the method he followed:

In this congress, dozens of symposia were held.

hundreds of works were presented and more than 20 rooms functioned
simultaneously. To be able to carry out the synthesis that in this

in which the main points are presented in a condensed form,
advances made in a specific aspect of science and
characterizes the highest level reached internationally in that
moment. These conferences are scheduled in advance for a
world-renowned figure in the field in question and
they are given in the form of plenary sessions, in this case before more than 1
500 attendees at this International Congress.

transplant, schematically outlining the achievements reached in it, to which
brief comments were added regarding this, which should be supplemented,
grant unity and provide understanding to such schemes. They also address
general aspects of importance using the same methodology.

The same logic of presentation used in the almost four dozen of

conferences (37) that were offered on this topic at different institutions
of health in our country between December 1988 and June 1989.

Efforts were made to take into account the numerous...

questions and contributions made by many of the 2,200 attendees at these
scientific activities, among which were professionals from the
health of the most varied specialties.

This paper aims, for the purpose of scientific dissemination, to provide a

panoramic view of transplantation at the current moment and not exhaust each of
its particular aspects.3

The editorial processing of this title had aspects of great interest. It was about
by all means that its structure and design maintained whatever was
possible the characteristics of exposition and presentation that the author gave to his
conferences, with the aim of allowing the reader, without great effort, to grasp the
essential of each aspect addressed.
Fortunately, everything favored his passage through the editorial process and of
printing and could be presented at the International Fair of Havana
carried out in February 1990: only 5 months were needed for the
the project will materialize.

Although there were examples of similar efforts before, such as those of

Professor Raimundo Llanio in 1969 and 1985, there has been no policy regarding
regarding and for years this possibility of disseminating information has
lost.

PROPOSITION: THE SERIES CONGRESSES

If we take into account everything that has been presented so far, it is not difficult to assess the
importance that creating a
editorial series in which reviews of the most important could be published
scientific events in which our specialists participate.

For this, it would be necessary to create an integrated working group, mainly,

by representatives of the following dependencies of the MINSAP.

Council of Scientific Societies.

Directorate of Science and Technology.
National Center for Medical Sciences Information (CNICM):
Department of Information Services.
Medical Sciences Editorial.

Annually, the events of greatest interest to the country would be selected and
they would publish the reviews of these in the shortest time possible, never exceeding
at 6 months (table 2). To achieve this in such a short time it would be necessary that:
1. The participant-author of the review drafted it 2 or 3 months ago.
after his return.
The original does not exceed 120 pages of text, the illustrative material is
only the essential y without complications (Illustrations
preferably in lines).
3. The editorial processing does not exceed 60 working days (2 months)
and a half).
4. The covers must be classified and the maximum length of the printed text
do not exceed 96 pages.
5. Printing should preferably be done at the CNICM printing house.
6. Its distribution should be agile, with the cooperation of the National Group.
specialty.

Other aspects that should be considered

This type of publication will require close collaboration between the author and the
working group that was previously proposed to coordinate the series, thus
as with the editor assigned to it.
For the success of this company, it will be necessary to create a work methodology.
which must be flexible to facilitate the author's work and for processing
agile editorial.

In addition, some resources should be made available to the author that

allow to overlook some difficulties that may arise (services of
mecacopia, translation and illustration, for example).

conclusions
The publication of these reviews will allow for the implementation of a valuable
source of information to keep our updated
specialists and researchers.
2. It will facilitate access to documents that:

a) it is possible that through the normal channels I may never reach them.
b) they will have them gathered, summarized, and in Spanish.
Creating this new channel for updating information will mean giving it
maximum utilization of our limited resources; expenses
what is incurred by sending attendees to those scientific meetings
will be rewarded with the dissemination of knowledge and
experiences acquired among a larger number of professionals.
4. The CNICM would have a new marketable item or for the
management of national and international exchange.
