It seems to me that there is always the private aspect to research ("inner workings") and the public aspect (externalization).Two instances come to mind when I consider the impact of research diaries: da Vinci and Darwin. Many have pore over these to try and understand the work methods of these thinkers.
Do you think it helps to see publication as foremost being clear by writing to oneself about research ideas? For many famous treatise were once private musings that was initially circulated within a closed circle, but eventually gained a wider audience through publication. Usually spurred on by a close friend or patron.
All personal views and reflections are welcome, together with any other thoughts in connection to research diaries and notebooks.
Hello. I agree with Mr Markovic's opinion. The research must be made public and shared.
And YES, publications, writings and collaborations are a good way of expressing your research ideas and and future research ideas. I think it is one of the good way of spreading the knowledge too to your fellow collages and students. In clinical dentistry, most of the clinicians in teaching hospital do tend to record their cases and present them where necessary, so that the individuals may benefit from the newly treatment modalities leading towards better clinical outcomes.
Best of luck !
Interesting to note all the views on research information thus far. Do you think that we lose elements of inspiration when some of the ideas get translated into working papers, research/technical notes, 1st draft for comments by a trusted colleague,even though these written versions may not be a full-fledge paper?
