sistemàtics

Sistemàtics is a term that can refer to several concepts depending on the context, though it most commonly relates to systematic classification or methodical approaches. In biology, "sistemàtics" (or systematics) is the study of the diversification of living forms, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time. This field encompasses taxonomy, which is the science of naming, defining and classifying groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics. Phylogenetic systematics, also known as cladistics, is a method of classification of animals and plants according to the proportion of measurable characteristics that they have in common.

Beyond biology, the term "sistemàtics" can be used more generally to describe a methodical or organized approach to something. For instance, a "sistemàtic review" in research is a rigorous and transparent method of identifying, evaluating, and synthesizing all available research relevant to a particular question. This ensures that findings are not biased by the selection of studies. In a broader sense, acting "sistemàticament" implies a deliberate and structured process, often involving planning and consistent execution. This methodical approach is valued in many professional and academic disciplines for its ability to produce reliable and reproducible results.
