During which phase of the scientific method are results typically shared with peers?

Results are typically shared with peers during the feedback phase of the scientific method. In this phase, researchers communicate their findings through presentations, publications, or discussions with other scientists and interested parties. Sharing results is crucial for peer review, which helps to validate the research, promotes collaboration, and allows others in the field to build on the findings. This feedback mechanism fosters a collaborative environment where science can advance through thoughtful critique and continued inquiry.

The other phases, while important to the scientific process, are more focused on gathering data and analyzing results rather than the dissemination of findings. Observation involves gathering initial data, experimentation refers to the structured procedures to test hypotheses, and analysis is the phase where data is interpreted to draw conclusions, but none of these phases emphasize the sharing of results as integral to advancing scientific knowledge in the same way that feedback does.
