Scientific community
open-in-new
<p> The scientific community is a diverse network of interacting <a href="/facts/Scientist/JDvthEFM">scientists</a>. It includes many "<a href="/facts/Working_group/dFlAPASD">sub-communities</a>" working on particular scientific fields, and within particular institutions; interdisciplinary and cross-institutional activities are also significant. <a href="/facts/Objectivity_(philosophy)/nbUpe5Bp">Objectivity</a> is expected to be achieved by the <a href="/facts/Scientific_method/182j8RWE">scientific method</a>. <a href="/facts/Peer_review/ly6yEgcW">Peer review</a>, through discussion and debate within journals and conferences, assists in this objectivity by maintaining the quality of research methodology and interpretation of results. </p>
