Publications
Your research is valuable, but it has to be presented to the rest of the scientific community, and be available for the public. Written, documented and reviewed communication is necessary to make your research available and useful. When you want to publish your work, you are expected to be able to write in a specific, structured language, and to be as focused and precise as possible about the story you want to tell. It is necessary to work through your material and data properly, and to identify both the main findings as well as the small details of your research.
Bearing in mind the old saying publish or perish, MDCRC team has published 4 interesting and valuable publications, though publications are not what they are targeting at, but en route to obtaining data and consolidating it for the awareness of the scientific community, publication becomes a priority. MDCRC has both national and international publications to its credit from 2008 onwards.
