Method: quantitative with the use of questionnaire and structured interview. Inferences: socio-affective obstacles have an impact on the research process, especially in times of crisis; the relationship with the thesis advisor is a fundamental factor for continuity and permanence; technologies facilitate advisory-advised communication; the research process involved modifications and rethinking of research problems in virtual contexts.
