There are several reasons:
- To inform other scientists who are interested in the same sort of thing of the progress that has been made. Others can either stop looking, incorporate their answer to part of the question that was puzzling them, or move onto the next stage of the problem.
- To establish that they were the first to discover the answer to a problem. This provides "bragging rights" and helps them become credible in their community. Publicity is an essential part of getting more money for future research etc
- To promote peer review and comment. Everyone is blind to their own faults. Different eyes may see problems that the first researcher has missed

∙ 12y agoScientists publish the details of their experiments so that people can recreate the experiments. That way their work can be proved so the world will know they are telling the truth. If someone recreates the experiment and gets the same result, they will know that it was right the first time.
In addition, it gives other researches a chance to build upon a particular experiment. Say you did an experiment with the color blue and published your results. If I am interested in say color red, I can use your experiment as a guideline and replicate it only this time with color red and see what results I get. I can also change some of the things you did in your experiment and see if I get different outcomes.

Why might it be important for scientists to be able to communicate their methods and their findings?
Scientists first create an hypothesis. They develop methods to prove their hypothesis. In order for other scientists to replicate the findings and prove or disprove another scientist's outcome, the original scientist MUST describe the methods used and the findings.
Why is it important for scientists to share information for their own investigations?
Other scientists can use that knowledge - either to confirm or correct a scientist's findings.
