Aim: demonstrate step-by-step stages of the correct execution of the metadata according to the rules of OBJN. Method: A descriptive study presented in the form of the short metadata course. Results: blocks images and guidelines for metadata completing. Conclusion: The establishment of the guide reduces the completion time of submission, maximizes the visibility of the material submitted and the journal and reduces the rate of rejection.
