scientific literature
Peer-reviewed research publications
Scientific literature is the body of published research in academic fields—journal articles, conference papers, reviews, and similar documents reporting findings, methods, and theories.
The phrase implies peer-reviewed work subject to professional scrutiny: The scientific literature on climate change is extensive.
To say something is in the scientific literature suggests it has passed formal vetting, distinguishing it from popular science writing or informal claims.
