Abstract

In 2007, RD 1393/2007 came into force in Spain, which, among other measures, introduced the End-of-Graduate Work (TFG) and End-of-Master's Work (TFM) as Compulsory subjects in university degrees. Doing a TFG or TFM means for the students the necessary documentary search, as well as its corresponding reading, analysis and reflection. However, in the face of a student body that is less and less interested in reading, there have been various actions aimed at promoting reading skills and their consequent reflection and critical analysis of the sources read (Acosta and Pedraza, 2016; Aguirre, 2008; Antón, 2011; González Di Pierro, 2013). In this context, it is necessary to redesign training actions aimed at promoting not only reading skills, but also research, analysis and criticism among university students. After a bibliographic search at the National Library of Spain (BNE), the ISBN Agency, the WOS, Scopus and Dialnet databases and the academic search engine Google Scholar on the existing literature on the rules to be followed for the correct preparation and writing of reviews of editorial works, research is carried out, through content analysis and observation, in the Documentation area journals collected by Dialnet Métricas and which publish reviews, in order to identify them and analyse their editorial rules in relation to the reviews. The general objective is to trace and find reference guidelines for students to learn how to write an editorial review. The specific objectives are to know the rules to follow in order to structure and write them correctly. The results show that the reviews are not widely used by the journals analysed, as well as irrelevant and unspecific guidelines.
