Publishing about scientific discovery

To be informed best of scientific discovery (which is disclosed to the public), one should seek out the publication of such discoveries which have already been through a "rigorous" process of vetting - versus relying solely on social media posts/videos to "tell the story."

Ironically, on a Facebook post by Katie Everson, I found an explanation of the publication process generally utilized in academia: https://www.facebook.com/kaytee.everson/posts/10215618428080473

Additionally, ranking of journals is widely used in academia as a measure of the journal's quality and impact.  In this regard, there are several evaluative factors which rank journals for the purpose of suggesting the relative value of a journal in its discipline. But, that could be the subject of another post!

It's a process . . . 

Thank you, Dr. Everson for your post!
