ABSTRACT
Body image research had a significant growth in Brazil, markedly in the last decade. Despite the undeniable maturity that the recent production is showing, some methodological inconsistencies can still been identified in body image research in Brazil, similar to what happened outside Brazil in the decade of the 1990s. This methodological article is focused on important methodological points that require attention in the phase of research planning. The information systematized here was collected from books and scientific articles, as well from courses for reviewers of journals specialized in this area. Four topics were chosen to be discussed here and each of them will bring relevant notes for elaboration, execution and data analyzes in body image research.
