Communication is crucial to the development of science. A research
project is not complete until its results are properly disseminated. The most recognized way of doing that is through well-presented research publications.
Scientific publishing is a rigorous, highly competitive, and disciplined activity
with well-structured codes of conduct. In order to get published in good-quality
journals, the manuscripts must be prepared well. The most recognized type of
scientific publication is the research paper in a peer-reviewed journal; others
include review papers, book chapters, conference presentations, and abstracts.
Science is international and the knowledge communicated through scientific
papers should be of universal application; however, popular science writing has a
valuable role in communicating research results, especially in application-oriented
disciplines such as agriculture and natural resources. |
