This article provides a basic knowledge base for researchers who choose to use the steps of grounded theory as an analytical framework, in the search for new knowledge. Despite the significant progress in this research method, the current reality reflects a lack of knowledge in the methodological, to start on this reflective path as a qualitative researcher. A review of systematic literature on the grounded theory and its application was carried out, with the use of databases such as Science Direct and Web of Science, both recognized scientifically for its high academic impact; a total of 52 articles with application of the method in different areas were analyzed. Among the contributions, the benefits for the construction of knowledge stand out, scientifically approached from the theory based as a methodological approach; it is possible to identify the affinity of the method with the social sciences as a field of application. In addition, the increasing use of this method of study in the academic field.

Keywords : cualitative research; research method; grounded theory.
