scientific paper

Academic publishing describes the subfield of publishing which distributes academic research and scholarship. Most academic work is published in journal article, book or thesis form. The part of academic written output that is not formally published but merely printed up or posted on the Internet is often called the "grey literature".

Peer review quality and selectivity standards vary greatly from journal to journal, publisher to publisher, and field to field.
