Scientific Journal
One must publish his/her work to show that he/she is the person who created it with no plagiarism involved. Especially when it is an innovation or a research.
Mainly peer review, but also for the prestige of being published in a journal of high regard.

Publish. (Or try to, at least.)

Scientists publish papers in scientific journals or they email other scientists.
