ABSTRACT

In dentistry, publishing scientific papers is the most effective way for researchers to disseminate the results of their work; these written reports represent the culmination of the research process and provide a summary of the most relevant aspects of the work carried out, such as the characteristics of the patients included, the design used to find the answer to the initial question, the materials or procedures used, and the results and conclusions of the study, all presented in a cohe­rent and structured manner. The purpose of this article is to examine the definition of scientific publication in dentistry, the importance of publishing in prestigious journals, the publication process, the structure of a scientific article, and the main guidelines for publication.
