General Information
Scientific work describes a methodical-systematic approach in which the results of the work are objectively comprehensible or repeatable for everyone. This means that sources are disclosed (cited) and experiments are described in such a way that they can be reproduced. Anyone who reads a scientific paper can always see on the basis of which facts and evidence the author has reached his conclusions, which research results of other scientists he refers to (citation) and which (new) aspects are of his own.
[Translation from german Wikipedia]
The most important principles of a scientific paper include:
- Independent analysis and critical reflection
- A methodological approach
- Objective and verifiable research
