Resumo


This paper presents the systematization of the results of the metaanalysis of the publications of the 18 editions of the WSCAD according to the categories: statistics, metrics and tests. The goal is not to invalidate the results, but to alert to how they are described and presented.From a sample of 426 publications, 93 % referred at least one of the terms searched, showing that there is some care in the demonstration of results, even inadequate or incomplete given the low occurrence of only 3 % of statistical tests confirmed by a second sample of 30 articles. It is necessary not only to focus on the development of the research object itself, but also on the results demonstrations.
