Overview
The publication of research results is an integral part of the evolution of science. Researchers communicate their findings to the scientific community and society, and the publication of scientific evidence contributes to global knowledge, population well-being and the growth of nations.
Scientific writing, the specific language of scientific and technical reports, has unique characteristics designed to preserve the accuracy and veracity of observations and to communicate results accurately. Thus, effective scientific communication allows studies to be replicated by other scientists, a mechanism for self-control of science.
