Document Summary
Acceptance by or appeal to a community of skeptical experts. They know a lot about the field you"re talking about. No one person (usually) decides if its published or not. Broadness of claims needs to be evaluated (scope of question) Language needs to be able to convey the point. Journals have reputations, strive to keep those high. Lots of people will be exposed to the works contained in a journal. Compared to one-off publication, which reaches a very limited audience. Harder to steal intellectual property when there is a wide claim established. Whoever published first planted the claim for the findings. Write a paper, send it to a journal. Editor receives it, makes a judgment to pick reviewers. Manuscript is double blind - reviewers and author don"t know who is involved. Reviewers read it and give a report on their findings on the paper. Reports are often 2-3 pages long reporting on the earlier defined points.
