Medical Research Paper Writing
  • Writing a medical research paper is an art. It is
    an area of continuous improvement and the journey
    to perfection is accomplished through practice.
  • Practice not only involves writing authentic
    scientific information, but rather many other
    aspects are also included.
  • These aspects are formatting, the structure of
    the paper, font size, alignment, paragraphing,
    and spacing between the lines, active and passive
    voice and correct grammar.

Essentials of Effective Medical Research Paper
  • It should be written clearly, accurately and
    precisely.
  • The writing should be evidence-based and
    authenticated by references and additional data.
  • The article should be written keeping in mind the
    target audience.
  • The research paper or article should not be
    copied, free from plagiarism and without any data
    fabrication.

Tips to Write an Impactful Medical Research Paper
7
  • The medical research paper should be written
    through proper planning and structure in hand.
  • A chaotically written research paper is bound to
    be rejected during the review process.
  • Following are some of the tips that prove to be
    useful in medical manuscript writing

8
  • Choose the topic wisely There are various
    criteria for choosing the topic. Some criteria
    such as your interest are under your control
    while other criteria such as availability of
    information and the possibility of research are
    out of your purview. Sometimes the topic may also
    be decided by your guide. Choose the topic that
    ticks the maximum number of boxes.

9
  • Plan the structure carefully Working without
    planning takes you nowhere. Developing an outline
    for carrying out the research is of immense help
    while setting a realistic target. You may also
    mention the appropriate time to reach each
    milestone, if possible.

10
  • Get into the shoes of reviewers If you have
    already undergone a paper rejection state or
    being asked for a paper revision, you should
    review your paper like a reviewer. You should try
    to figure out what the reviewer requires in your
    paper. Planning the structure of the paper will
    solve most of your doubts.

11
  • Optimally utilize the resources Scientific
    manuscript writing is not an easy task and a lot
    of resources are to optimally utilize to arrive
    at an acceptable research paper. These resources
    include attending seminars, comprehensive
    internet searching, reading relevant books and
    taking an appropriate help from your guides and
    mentor.

12
  • Avoid last-minute writing Medical manuscript
    writing demands a lot of time and correction
    through the process. Initiating Medical paper
    writing at the last minute will deteriorate the
    quality and does not allow enough time for review
    which is an essential element.

13
  • Recognize the power of grammar Grammar and
    vocabulary are also important components in
    medical manuscript writing for creating a
    positive impact on the reviewer. Using tough
    words, one-word sentences and redundant words may
    decline the quality of the research paper.

14
  • Follow the guidelines of the journal Medical
    research paper writing should follow the
    guidelines set by the journal. The guidelines may
    include the structure, formatting, number of
    words and reference style.
  • Including the references References provide
    authenticity to the information taken from other
    sources. It increases the overall credibility of
    your research paper.

15
  • Review your work after 10 days After completing
    medical paper writing, keep your research paper
    away for 10 days.
  • Present the data nicely Medical paper writing is
    all about presentation of information
    substantiated with adequate data.  Reviewers and
    subsequent readers easily comprehend the data
    presented in the tabulated form.

16
  • Never copy Copying someones work in medical
    article writing is considered highly unethical
    and immoral in the research arena.
  • Make your diagrams Diagrams are an important
    part of Medical manuscript writing. The research
    is yours and nobody other than you is the best
    person to explain the research.
