Primary and secondary scientific publications.

Currently in the international scientific community there is a clear representation of a scientific article as a written and published report, describing the results of the original research and satisfying the definite criteria. Gradually there appeared a notion of “ valid/primary scientific publication/literature ”.This conception appeared under the influence of three-hundred-year tradition of presentation of scientific investigations’ results, and the editorial practice and scientific ethics. Further we will use the term “ primary ” publication/article/literature. In order to qualify an article as a primary one, it should be published correctly. Even if there was a good investigation and the article is written in a proper way, but it is published in “incorrect” issue, then it can’t be considered as a primary publication. The acceptable primary scientific publication – is the first public presentation of the essential information about investigation in the form, which allows colleagues to:1. estimate the investigation, 2. reproduce the experiment, 3. evaluate the intellectual process, leading to results obtained. All other publications, review articles, conference materials, monographs, collections – are the secondary scientific literature. And at last, the tertiary scientific publications – are the encyclopedias, textbooks and analogous issues, which are assigned for more wide audience.
