If organic chemistry is relatively new to you, literature explains the basic concepts and fundamental ideas that deal with the discourse. In most textbooks, a few well known reactions are taught, however this does not show how we know about these reactions. This is when other organic articles become important, more specifically, publications. Within publications one sees the process by which chemist have gone through in order to gather a set of data. This process is written with such precision and accuracy, that it should be able to be replicated by someone who knows almost nothing about chemistry as a whole. Most times, these publications serve as experiments for high school, and college level labs, so the diction is written in a way that an aspiring student can understand. The author of the publication generally gives credit to a group of people, which shows that it takes more than one individual to come to a groundbreaking discovery. From here, other chemist use a published article to further their own research which ignites a chain reaction that introduces more and more concepts. In essence, publications are presented to provide a gateway for another chemist to replicate it, in hopes that they will also end up at a result that can act as a gateway for another. This is shown through the introduction section as well as the procedure in publications. Most of the time, they reference by name another chemists discoveries in development of their results.
