Every scientist need to document their studies and discoveries.
This is for the purpose of having proof of their discovery and ensuring that said discoveries will be available for further study and verification in the future.
Scientists can communicate their discoveries through the following methods:
1. Data Charts and Graphs
2. Illustration or Drawing the pictures or maps
3. Video or camera recordings
4. Publication of books and articles
5. Televised or Radio Interviews
These methods will help scientists retain their knowledge of their discoveries from the time of the discovery, through the studying of said discovery, until the formulation of conclusions drawn from such discovery.
A well documented discovery is extremely relevant in sharing information to the masses. It is also a way to ensure that said discovery will never be forgotten.
