An activity that undoubtedly contributes to raise the level of critical thinking of people is reading, because through it the senses are activated, information is accumulated and different realities are studied, which generates a higher activation in the decision-making process. In the research area, critical thinking helps to encourage the study to be more analytical and profound, which makes this study more reliable. In this literature review work, it will be searched through the selected scientific works, to show the importance of critical thinking in the development and improvement of research.
