Definition: The act of publishing printed or other matter.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a perfectly good definition from the dictionary – “The act of publishing printed or other matter.” But let’s break it down a little further, shall we? Think of ‘publication’ as more than just putting something out there. It's about making something available to others! Let's rhyme it up for clarity: “A publication , bright and new, Is shared with readers, tried and true!” It means taking an idea, a story, a research finding – anything really – and giving it a formal way to be seen. Think of newspapers, books, magazines... those are all publications . Sometimes it’s printed on paper, like a book or article. But "other matter" can also mean things like websites, online journals, even digital documents that are made widely accessible. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about what 'publication' means and how it works?
