Note on scientific divulgation
It is a type of brief communication used to report on discoveries, observations, experiments, and preliminary or final results of an investigation, to contribute new information, or to formulate hypotheses for use in future research. Unlike a full research article, a scientific note is more concise and focuses on a specific finding or a particular aspect of a broader study. Some examples include: brief descriptions of natural phenomena, preliminary information on the distribution or behavior of organisms, or listings and descriptions of the flora or fauna of a specific area, among others.
