Scientific writing and editing
Background
Publishing is a major means to expose scientific knowledge to a wider audience. Manuscripts can be published in scientific journals, and in book chapters. It is important that manuscripts are retrievable via search engines like PubMed, Google Scholar etc.
Good scientific work will be cited by others, which then increases a scientist’s citation figures and H-index.
In addition, science can also be communicated to a wider (e.g. laymen) audience via papers that are tailored to such audience.
