Not just scientists - everyone. Though for scientists, in order to publish information that can be universally understood, standardized measurements are important. The text can be translated from one language to another, but numerical units can't be exactly translated - a foot is "about" 30.5 cm, but there can't be any rounding off like that in scientific data. The simplest solution is for everyone to use the same system of measurement. Many units currently in everyday use are metric units - watts, volts, amps, and ohms for example. So why not use feet, inches, and so on? Because they're clumsy, poorly defined (there are several ounces, all different; a US gallon isn't the same as an Imperial gallon), and are nowhere near as universally used as Americans might think even if everyone within 10 miles of Podunk uses them.
One anwer could be that the metric system is based on units of 10 making it easier to calculate quantities.
Scientists use the metric or SI units of measurement.
The metric system is in place as a standard unit of measurement. It's important to use standardized units so that scientists elsewhere, anywhere, can repeat the investigations to confirm the work.
Scientists use the System Internationale - the international system of units. This is a metric system. Most countries have switched to the metric system for everyday ie in shops and in the kitchen.
Metric system is used by everyone, not just scientists. However, science and scientists have great influence of standardization of metric system to match everyday use.
