How does the writing process of a scientific article differ from a popular scientific article?

What is the importance of including evidence in a popular scientific article?

Including evidence is important because it supports the author's opinions and makes the article more credible. Without proper evidence, an opinion might not be accepted by readers, especially when discussing scientific topics.
