Science is one of the most important facts in the progress and development of humanity. Scientific ideas, which form the basis of science, should be in accordance with scientific principles and norms while fulfilling their problem-solving functions. Researchers who accept science as a profession ensure the emergence of the scientific community. Researchers should transform their scientific studies into reports in accordance with the sharing principle of science as a public good.
