Publications

When reporting publication numbers, a distinction is made between three types of publications:

Scientific publications are publications on the results of scientific research aimed at the forum of researchers and intended to contribute to the propagation of scientific knowledge.

Professional publications are defined as publications on the results of scientific research aimed at interested parties within the professional field. They are aimed at disseminating scientific knowledge and promoting the application of existing knowledge.

Popular scientific publications are defined as publications on the results of scientific research aimed at the general public, e.g. in newspapers, magazines or encyclopedias.
