Scientists put forward ideas about how nature works. Then, they
usually test the idea in the real world. An idea that predicts how the
world works is called a hypothesis.

Science Literature
How Scientific Results are Published?
Usually scientists and researchers publish their work into peer-reviewed
journals and periodicals.
A peer is, among others, a person who has the same abilities as other
people in a group.
Peer review is a method to validate one’s work. Peer examine his/her
work and write a review recommending the publication of the work or

To cite an article, a book, etc., means to provide information so to
locate it. At the end of articles, authors provide a references section
with citations. Instead, books contain bibliographies at the end of the
book or at the end of each chapter.

Why is Plagiarism Tempting?
One can easily access content and plagiarize other’s work.
In different words, the widespread use of the Internet made it easy to
plagiarize.
Self-plagiarism refers to the repeated use of one’s content in different
publications. It happens because researchers and scientists (in most
countries) are evaluated on the basis of the number of their
publications.
