Studies in the theory of scientific research. Part 1. Theory of information transfer by scientific publications: Basic rules to optimise the effect of scientific communication

K. Lin, S. Sisako and J. Horák

Abstract
This paper addresses a number of elements involved in the process of sharing information and knowledge, i.e. needs, transfer, and disclosure in scientific environment. It concerns standards and conventions, which science communicators should learn as they develop into true scientists. In other words, scientists beginners should learn how to present their work to the scientific community; how to select information and put it into a desirable format. The most important medium for knowledge production and exchange between scientists are peer reviewed journals. Unfortunately, in chemical literature only a negligible attention is paid to teaching how to communicate science successfully. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to give beginners the basics of how to write a high quality scientific publication.
