I agree with 'time frame' suggested by Luis Fernando, but it is only applicable to the second sentence (recorte de tempo). For the first sentence, I don't see why not to use 'selection' or excerpt'. The point is, that section of the whole was chosen for its ability to represent well the general idea of the entire research.

Bett, I will give you the same answer that someone gave here 13 years ago, when this term was first posted. The asker said she needed a literary term and someone called Donald replied with this link, showing that the term 'selection' is indeed a literary term:

Oh, sorry, Bett. I just noticed that you said this is NOT literature. But I still think you could use 'selection' or 'excerpt'.

Explanation:
For "recorte de tempo" I would suggest "time frame".

For "recorte dos estudos", I think "selection" or "excerpt" are good options. As a suggestion, I don't know whether "approach" could be an option. "Recorte" gives me an idea that it is much more a point of view or an angle with respect to the whole than the selection of a smaller portion of the total (as I understand from "selection" and "except")
