A monograph is an academic text resulting from document research and used in education to provide information about the current status of a specific subject as far as knowledge about it is concerned. The various types of monographs are indispensable tools in student training, for they constitute an opportunity to come into contact with the general methods of science (analysis and synthesis) as applied to a subject of interest to the researcher. However, it is very common to find ambiguities in the methodology and development of monographs about school topics. The purposes of the present study are therefore to become acquainted with and characterize the use and importance of monographs, and offer a systematic view of monographic work, based on various scientific sources related to the topic. It is concluded that monographs are texts based on theoretical scientific research whose purpose is to disseminate information about the antecedents, current state and progress achieved in the field being approached.

Keywords : monograph; document research; researcher.
