"Research results are always available
in written form, in a report or an
article. Although researchers can
also disseminate their work orally
at a conference, through scientific
posters or online infographics, it is
generally through the written word
that practitioners gain access to new
knowledge in their field.
In fact, it’s often through reading
that we assimilate information in
order to learn. While reading is an
entirely personal activity, reflecting
on the content of a text or the
applying ideas can become a collective
activity. Indeed, it is precisely
through discussion, the confrontation
of ideas and the negotiation
of meaning that the development
of each individual’s knowledge is
fostered (Kozanitis, 2005)." -- AQPC
