Abstract
The writing of a didactic text, dissertation, thesis or scientific report or project, requires covering several steps in common, from an appropriate bibliographic search and careful reading of the important papers to be cited, to the writing of the first draft, as the basis for the changes that will result in the final version. Formatting the pages and organizing the tables, figures and the written summary, among other topics, need attention and dedication so that the desired quality is achieved. This text is intended to indicate the steps to be followed by those who need to write scientific-technical texts.
