Main Genres
The three main genres that my interviewers talked about was the all too familiar scientific articles in a scientific journal, a book on a specific area of study, and a piece that was similar to a QRG which was called an "interactive text".
Scientific Article
This is the most formal of all the genres, usually the ones that have no emotion or opinion, just the cold, hard facts. This is also more for other veterinarians and other scientific people in the same field, people who have experience within the field and not those who own pets.
The hard part about this genre that the interviews spoke about was trying to convey passion of the subject without drowning out the facts. A scientific article is not supposed to be frilly with descriptive language, so create an interesting article is very hard. What is rewarding about a scientific article is that there is a lot of long term research being done, so completing that and finding connections in the research is something very personally rewarding. This genre can be found in online scientific journals which are becoming more and more popular
Scientific Book
This is another formal piece of publication, but this allows for more creativity and length to talk
about specific things in great detail. This also requires more information than a scientific article. However, it is very similar to an article because it talks a lot about the same types of things.
The hard part about a book is that it is a much larger piece of text, so it takes a while to actually write out what you need to write out. It is also more detail oriented, so there needs to be a lot of research that goes into the book. The rewarding part of a scientific book is that there is a large audience that can read the book and be informed much easier because it is easily seen. This genre can be found in libraries as well as online pdfs.
Scientific QRGs
These are the most interactive out of the genres mentioned previously. They have numerous amounts of pictures and graphs as well as aesthetically pleasing parts that allow for the reader to have a more interested experience.
The hard part about this genre is that it is a newer piece in the scientific world so it is not generally used by most people, so some might not accept it as much in the scientific world. The rewarding part about this would be that many people would read this and be more interested in the specific topic. This genre can be found more online than anywhere else.
