Portuguese term or phrase: Justificativa
Trata-se de um ítem a ser colocado em um trabalho a ser apresentado em um congresso de medicina. É a "justificativa" do trabalho. Eu, porém, não sei como dizer isso em Inglês. Alguém poderia me ajudar??

Agradeço desde já!!

English translation:rationale
Explanation:
The most common contrast between justificação and justificativa is similar to that between "justification" and "rationale"; but this is not some 11th commandment. Often the terms are practically interchangeable. Without seeing the content of that justificativa it is impossible to choose the best with assurance; but "rationale" is the way to bet.
