The publication of scientific work is critically important to scientific communication (Twaij et al. 2014). Scientists communicate their new research or studies to their audience by publishing their work in scholarly journals and books.

Being able to learn about different materials, binding techniques, and adhesives were helpful in the creation of journals, but it was not

English 123 – Composition II: Assignment Three Tiffany O’Neill Southern New Hampshire University While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment.
