Medical Research: Scientific Writing and Publishing

Scientific writing and publishing marks the endpoint of medical research that has been performed, completed, reviewed and accepted, and complements teaching and training, clinical service and patient care. This book instructs, in a very clear style, the guidelines authors should follow in order to improve the quality of their scientific papers. Chapter I provides an overview on the application and implementation of internationally accepted principles for research practice. Chapter II presents in details all the necessary steps of research design and scientific writing; including an essential introduction to evidence-based medicine and biomedical statistics. Chapter III describes the uniform requirements of biomedical journals as well as the editorial and review processes for research publishing. Everything is easy when you know how – I hope that this book will provide the "know how" for all researchers, academicians and health-care professionals.
