Listen to this interview of Dietmar Pfahl, Professor of Software Engineering, University of Tartu, Estonia. We talk about the interconnections between research and the communication of the research.
Dietmar Pfahl : "Reviewers need to be told — and told plainly — the actual relevance of the study. That is why authors will publish better when they really understand how, say, a new approach or technology or method, first off, changes how software is being done, but also how those changes open up new questions about, let's say, the quality of software. So, these authors understand all this, and crucially as well, they explain to the reviewer — that is, they explain why they are doing what they report on there in the manuscript, for example, why they know that their results will help software get developed faster, better, easier, or what have you."
