In this discipline of Biology and specifically research in molecular biology there is a very specific way that scientists communicate with each other through writing. They derive a hypothesis and using the scientific method, design and conduct an experiment to test whether their hypothesis is valid or not. If they believe that there is enough evidence to thoroughly explain a unique finding, then they will publish this in a journal in their specific field or use the evidence collected to review an already existing publication which is also known as a peer-reviewed publication. Other types of communication besides publications also exist such as interim lab reports and poster presentations. Publications of data typically follow a general set of guidelines in which it is the norm for scientists to explain their results in a few subcategories. These include the abstract, introduction, methods, conclusion, and discussion section. There is some flexibility to how they want to format and ultimately present their data, but these sections are what is generally followed by most if not all. The most important and crucial aspect about a successful publication is timeliness because in order for your information to be of any value, you must be able to clearly present your data before any other scientist does. This can be very difficult at times because more often than not there are multiple people interested in the same topic. Therefore, it is essentially a race to see who is able to cohesively put together valid data to a commonly studied hypothesis first. Most of these studies take years before any data is extensive and strong enough to be published. The urgency and formal style of communication in this discipline is what makes it so unique from other communication styles commonly found in other fields.
