Communication is essential for scientific practice. As several specialized sources have stated, the fact that the number of articles and publications have been used for a long time as an indicator of scientific growth, have established scientific production as a validation measure for research processess and activities. Scientists not only communicate their results to the scientific community by publishing articles, preprints, giving lectures or making presentations in scientific conferences and meetings. Furthermore, they also rely on the previously existing knowledge, i.e., previously published works, in order to carry out their researches, to formulate proposals and research methodologies, among others. Moreover, exchange of information, perspectives and views with other colleagues is an essential part of the research activity. Therefore, communication is present in all stages of research processes.
As scientific communication experts have expressed, scholarly communication can be considered as the process used by scholars in any scientific field (for

As several publications report, just a small part of the information on the Internet can be defined as scholarly; hence, it is easier to obtain non-scholarly information. Furthermore, accessing the World Wide Web looking for scientific information can lead to scientific materials derived from many traditional forms of scientific and technical literature, such as directories, institutional reports, bibliographic databases, data sets, journals’ articles, newsletters, legislation and regulations, among others. Therefore, a scientist, who needs to find a specific kind of information related to the research he is carrying out, without expending much time surfing on the web, may find this approach not effective since a time and cost point of
M1, Introduction There is always a question which can’t be answered by scientist all of which relate to the perceptions of science as there is difference in how science is currently addressed. Also, people have different believes, opinions and interpretation of science in general. Questions science is currently addressing- cure for cancer?
Question 1 b. In what circumstances di you think scientists are justified in not sharing their results with others before research is completed? o I believe that scientists should not share their results until research is completed and they have fully justified their results. I believe so because other researchers and scientists use results in helping them with experiments, developing models, curing disease, etc. so if quickly scientists share results or models that they are not sure of scientists should use wrong information.
As the Internet grew, no longer did students have to use encyclopedias and search through hours of textbooks to find information; for communication and research became quicker. The Internet is used for commercial
To contribute to his argument, John Barry divulged the aspects of those who do practice diligence in their work by creating a scenario that makes the reader ponder about credibility and uncertainty among scientists. In order to make the reader envisage the results of negligence, John Barry depicted a situation of poor diligence to allow the reader to be acknowledged of the negative consequences of remiss research. According to Barry, he advocated that shoddy research leads to appalling repercussions, leaving colleagues to “pave roads over the path laid”. In other words, Barry suggesting that once a scientist has gathered “accurate” information, researchers will believe the scientists, thus creating more conflict over time. The author intentionally included this scenario in order to enlighten and startle the audience of the negative possibilities that can occur when one’s work is not proven evident and accurate.
According to O-Prof, the first step in the research process is walking. In this step, the researcher must locate and collect sources that are appropriate for their research topic. Two ways of doing this is by checking books out of the library or by running a few searches on Google. O-Prof gave advice on ways that Marvin could narrow his Google search. The site also mentioned problems with using Google, such as not having college level articles in the results or having
He argued that science is essential to our understanding of the world and plays a crucial role in shaping our society. He stressed that science should be a public trust and that it is the responsibility of scientists to use their knowledge for the benefit of humanity. He supported his argument with a variety of examples, including the role of science in creating new technologies and in solving important social problems. He also spoke about the importance of international cooperation and the role of scientists in working together to create a better
Barry uses this to show how researchers must make decisions on how to do something while not having a very structured knowledge foundation for that specific topic of interest. Together, the uses of these similar structures allows for a more cohesive train of thought about the characteristics of scientific
A discourse community is a group of people that share a set of values and goals. Members of a discourse community have their own way of communicating within the group and with the public. Although the communities may differ in subject matter and appearance, they do share varying levels of similarities. The three-discourse communities that we will be focusing on are: art, research biology and finance: specifically, the financial service sector. Furthermore, we will be comparing the three-discourse communities on: similarities among all the groups, similarities between each group and the differences among all three.
"Bishops Support Cesar Chavez." America. 30 May 1970: 574. Print. This article gave us a rough idea about the public 's response to Cesar Chavez 's actions. It tried to report all sides of the conflict.
Stephen Hawking declared, “Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.” Since the beginning of time, humans have been searching constantly for answers and knowledge about the world around them. Scientists have brought it upon themselves to be the discoverers of the human race. John Barry wrote his account during The Great Influenza of 1918 when millions of people were dying and solutions to the sickness were being sought out after by the scientific community. In his account of The Great Influenza of 1918, John Barry implements scientific diction, frequent repetition, and unique symbolism to demonstrate the difficult journey of scientific research.
An event that was significant to me throughout clinical placement was when I forgot to introduce myself to a visually impaired client. The event that I encountered occurred on my second day of clinical placement at Fieldstone Commons. This event highlights the need for effective communication when treating a patient that suffers with visual impairment. I assisted in morning care for multiple clients, one client stood out to me in particular.
For the secondary sources, I will search books, journals or any type of it from the internet. I will compare the different articles and analyze the arguments. In addition, I will use other research papers with the same topic to find what experts say about this topic. There are two methods of primary research: • survey
Communication can be split into different categories, namely • Verbal communication • Non- verbal communication • Written communication Effective communication involves minimising potential misunderstanding and overcome any barriers in the communication process. We make use of multiple communication channels , for example face to face conversations, telephone calls, text messages, emails, brochures etc. Choosing an appropriate communication channel is vital for effective communication, as each channel has different strengths and weaknesses. Written communication is always useful as a way of recording what has been said.
M.W. Cummin describes the word communication “process of conveying message (fact, ideas, attitudes and opinions) from one person to another so that they are understood”. [1] Communication in business: For businesses to be successful it is very important that communication must be effective. Effective communication
In society today, communication classes are highly over looked because of our new developing technology. People don’t realize how much a communication class could benefit them. We have lost sight of verbal communication skills. This class has taught me to put my phone down and communicate with others. It has opened my eyes to the real world without technology.
