Abstract: Publishing and/or patenting the results of scientific research represent the main goal for any scientist. Both processes require specific requisites and confer to the researcher duties and rights.

What about the peer-review procedures and ethical issues before but also after publication of a scientific paper? What about the influence of the aphorism “publish or perish” in the quality of research? What about the difference between publications and patents?
