Abstract

This paper focuses on meta-synthesis or meta-analysis concepts as they are presented by different authors and the research procedures assumed by them in order to conduct a meta-synthesis research in a qualitative way.

Besides, it presents the meta-synthesis conception assumed by this paper's author and the hermeneutical way she works on this qualitative research, with some examples of investigations she has already carried out along her researcher activities.
