How do you publish scientific discoveries?

Answer 1

To publish a scientific discovery you will need to submit your findings to an appropriate scientific journal, such as Nature, the Journal of Catalysis, the American Journal of Pharmaceuticals or whatever is relevant to your field of research. Alternatively, if presenting your findings at a conference, your discovery might be published in the proceedings of the conference (and possibly, simultaneously or subsequently in a journal). However, your work will need to be peer reviewed and thoroughly verified and you will normally need to be working at a university or some kind of research lab, and normally such publications will not be possible by an individual starting out as a scientist (as anyone who asks this question presumably is) but would be published by (or jointly with) your professor/supervisor.
