Resumen
MIRANDA MOLES, Aloysio. Voting against the methodological dogmatism in designing tables or charts. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2017, vol.43, n.3, pp. 1-6. ISSN 0864-3466.
Apparently, some thesis "reviewers, advisors, or tutors" have instructed that the correct name to define the artifice by which information is graphically summarized is "chart" instead of "table". Even worse is the requirement that it should not have vertical lines because this means that the research study is "closed". Since these instructions have become so common, the present article attempts to break up these ideas, to look for their possible causes, and finally, to make some suggestions as to how the authors of scientific papers and thesis opponents should proceed.
Palabras clave : Tables; charts; methodological dogmatism.
