=Primary Literature=

When writing a scientific paper, you must **formally acknowledge (or cite) ideas** from scientific literature that you have used in shaping your study. References appropriate to use when writing a scientific manuscript include primary literature and several other categories of technical literature.
 * WHAT IS PRIMARY LITERATURE? **
 * The best examples of **primary literature** are articles from peer-reviewed scientific journals that summarize the results of original research.
 * Before being published in these journals, manuscripts must be critically evaluated by experienced scientists. Manuscripts judged as unacceptable are rejected and not published.
 * The rejection rate of some journals exceeds 50%.
 * Even manuscripts that are evaluated favorably must be revised and resubmitted for final inspection.
