Desde la necesidad de información a la estrategia de búsqueda, pasando por el formato PICO

Scientific production is experiencing exponential growth, making it essential for professionals and the academic community to possess tools and skills for efficiently retrieving relevant information. To address this need, information must be reformulated into answerable questions, with the PICO format (an acronym for Patient, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) proving particularly useful. Utilizing this framework will facilitate the identification of critical elements within our question and serve as a guide throughout the information retrieval process, aiding in the development and structuring of search strategies. This paper outlines the principles for formulating questions using the PICO format to enhance the efficacy of literature searches.
