Methodological proposal for developing a scientific research in the area of Business Administration
Scientific research requires the use of the scientific method as an essen-tial tool to generate knowledge of such nature, It is common that researchers use the terms method and methodology as indistinctly, this situation causes confusion in students who begin their research tasks. Therefore, the objective of this work is to provide students with elements to identify the differences between the method and the methodology in a scientific research, in order to facilitate the choice of actions that can better resolve the proposed objec-tives. To do this, first a bibliographical review of the research process and its characterization was carried out, as well as one review for the different research methods; Then it was presented the case of a doctoral thesis, which outlines the different methods that were used, named the methodological spiral. It integrates the methodology of the research as a whole. It is concluded that there exists a method that guides the research work and that guides the steps to follow during the process, which varies from one investigation to another. But, essentially, the steps may be similar because they rely on a central method that can be the scientific method as such, or the technological method. This research process also has different times, therefore it requires different methods for its implementation.

Content strategy in LibGuides: An exploratory study
Abstract Since its inception in 2007, Springshare's LibGuides has become a popular content management system (CMS) with academic libraries. The challenges of managing LibGuides content through a cohesive content strategy have not been well documented. The researchers conducted a survey of academic libraries that were using the LibGuides platform in Fall 2019 to determine how institutions are managing content challenges. Of 120 respondents, only 53% of the respondents indicated that their institutions had content guidelines that LibGuides authors were expected to follow. The top three most observed elements of these content guidelines were page design (80%), content reuse policies (77%), naming conventions (73%), and navigation (3%). 15% of respondents' institutions did not review guides once they were published. Of those that reviewed guides post-publication, authors (84%) most frequently reviewed their own guides. These findings imply that LibGuides are largely cared for on an honour system. Guidelines tend towards quantifiable elements and omit more abstract concepts.
