Publish or Perish: Getting into Print

A Catalyst article explaining what happens when a scientist makes an exciting and new discovery. How do scientists manage to tell as many people as possible, and how can they be sure that someone else has not beaten them to it? Writing and publishing research in scientific journals is a long standing and popular approach. Since Sir Isaac Newton wrote his seminal work on gravity in the 1600s the method of scientific publishing in scientific journals has barely changed for hundreds of years. The article shows how it is now starting to enter the digital age.

This article is from Catalyst: GCSE Science Review 2009, Volume 20, Issue 1.

Catalyst is a science magazine for students aged 14-19 years. Annual subscriptions to print copies of the magazine can be purchased from Mindsets.
