[Are there any differences between evaluating and analyzing?]

In this essay we identified that there are distinct uses for the terms evaluation and analysis. We illustrate this difference by means of an exploratory approach to the titles of articles of interest. Interlocution with agents of the area made it possible to corroborate what was revealed in the exploratory review. The link between evaluation and practice is one of the possible factors for distinguishing it from the notion of analysis, generating consequences for the status of each of them, both in the scientific field and also in terms of common sense.
