Resumen

Objetivo: proporcionar una guía de trabajo que facilite la precisión, transparencia y, sobre todo, utilidad para académicos y profesionales de los case report papers como tipología de articulo publicable en revistas de impacto. De este modo, pretendemos incrementar el uso y difusión de las recomendaciones para ayudar a la redacción y publicación de informes de casos e investigación en acción. Marco teórico: los case report papers cuentan una historia en un formato narrativo que incluye las preocupaciones actuales de una persona o una organización, diagnósticos de situación, intervenciones, resultados (incluidos los eventos adversos) y seguimiento. La narrativa debe incluir una discusión de la justificación de cualquier conclusión y lecciones aprendidas. Método: analizaremos la prevalencia de este tipo de artículos en las publicaciones indexadas en Web Of Science (WOS) y Scopus; explicaremos como hemos hecho la adaptación de los case reports (CARE) guidelines para que sean aplicables en el área científica de Management (especialmente en Operations Management y Human Resources Management). Debatiremos la propuesta adaptada con un grupo de académicos y profesionales del área de Management. Resultados/Implicaciones: las guías de reporte  (reporting guidelines) ayudan a mejorar la investigación realizada, reducir el riesgo de sesgo, proporciona información sobre la implantación de prácticas de gestión, favorece la formación de profesionales en gestión y permite tomar decisiones editoriales informadas a las personas que actúan como editoras de revistas o revisoras.
