       I.            How to Write a Medical Paper to Get It Published in a Good Journal?

 

Before writing and publish a medical paper, everyone has to know that it is hard work, first, you have to know if what you want to say is worth writing, new or already published, the format to use, the audience to disseminate your findings and the appropriate journal for publication. There are rules created by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors on how authors, editors, peer reviewers, advertisers, and publishers ought to behave. It is important to publish as said by Faraday:” Work, finish, publish”, if you want anyone else to ever know what you did, but also for peer criticism and self-criticism.

    II.            How to write a scientific manuscript for publication?

Scientific writing started since 1665 then the peer-reviewed process for scientific manuscripts was born in England and France to ensure that articles met the journal's standards of quality and scientific validity. There are three broad groups of manuscripts: original scientific articles, reviews and case reports. In the 1980s, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRAD) structure of scientific papers were approved and up to now IMRAD is the format encouraged for the text of observational and experimental studies by the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals”; This format does not comprise other important and integral parts of the article, such as the Title Page, Abstract, Acknowledgements, Figures and Tables and References. Preparing to write a scientific manuscript you have to take in consideration: background information, Target journal, Ethical issues. Model of writing: a)Title, keywords and abstract, b) Introduction, c)Materials and methods,d) Results ,e)Discussion ,f)Conclusion ,g) Acknowledgements and h) References.

 III.            How to Write a Scientific Paper?

Scientific papers are important because it helps the scientist to get money from the government and universities but the paper has to be comprehensible even if the reader has not done any work in the field.  The paper has 5 sections: 1) Introduction, 2) scientific research, 3) scientific writing,4) scientific publication, and 5) conclusions. The purpose of scientific research is to obtain financial support so you have to work on a research subject which meets the needs of the society or discover something incredibly fundamental. As you finish your research you have to present it to the scientific community even if you have negative results and it is important to publish often to stay in science. The publishing journal will check your references before accepting your article, the conclusion is not differing from the abstract you have just to change the tense from the present to the past.

Isabelle, it is amazing the way IMRAD comes from steps like letter and theory-experiment-discussion.

anatomy skeleton can be used as tool to compare anatomy skeleton with other structures that we are using in daily life and in our context the author was considered it as a basic think to take as departure point to develop other things

Thanks Isabelle, your work is so amazing, you tried to retrieve the good sounding format on structure of scientific papers writing "IMRAD" which was approved in1880s, as a Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. I learn this from you.
