In this era of evidence-based practice, scholarly work such as
peer-reviewed scientific publications play a vital role in policy and
decision-making at an individual, organization, and country-level.
Alongside being considered an essential means of communicating scholarly
work, scientific publications also investigate the specific domains that
lack well-established literature and thereby inform scientists and
researchers to thrive for the betterment of the publics' well-being.
Thus, the main purpose of articulating the scientific, scholarly work
should be to make it understandable and accessible to everyone,
including the lay audience. However, oftentimes, researchers overlook
the lay summaries while publishing the research findings.
