The scientific article and the thesis report, a dichotomy

Abstract

This research is the very relative and almost non-existent academic exercise in the Peruvian university, as is the process of scientific dissemination.
There is a relative and biased conceptual perception between the thesis report and the scientific article. The study starts from the objective: to propose the scientific
article as an alternative to graduation either in undergraduate and postgraduate studies. The documentary research method has been used considering the contribution of eight universities in Latin America and the diversity of proposals to graduate in undergraduate and postgraduate studies. The study has been comple-
mented with the narrative-biographical method, which includes the scientific contribution of: Koch, Pasteur, Kohlberg, Vygotsky, Piaget, Freud, Newton, Fa-
raday, Darwin, Freudenberger, Maslach, Diamon and Broock. The synergy of the documentary investigative method with the narrative-biographical allows to eva-
luate the validity of the scientific article as an instrument of scientific dissemination. The strength of the IMRAD structure in the structural origin of the scientific article to disseminate knowledge.
