Genre of Scientific Communication "Technical Note": Focus and Structure

https://doi.org/10.36107/spfp.2023.504

Abstract

Introduction: The genre diversity of scientific communication effectively contributes to its optimization. Many authors traditionally describe the results of their scientific research in the format of original studies, overlooking opportunities to emphasize certain aspects of their work in more focused genres of scientific communication. One such genre is the technical note.

 

Purpose: To analyze the main characteristics that define the uniqueness of the genre in comparison to its closest «competitors»: original research articles and brief communications. 

 

Functional Content and Application Opportunities of Technical Notes: The function of the genre is to promptly convey information about a new method/tool/procedure to the wider scientific community. Structuring the manuscript of this genre is generally similar to that of manuscripts describing original research and brief communications. Understanding the function of the genre makes the special emphasis of certain subsections within each section obvious.
