According to the data sources used in medical papers, papers are usually divided into two categories: compiled and original. The compiled papers are comprehensive documents based on published materials, while the original papers are written by the first-hand resources obtained by researchers through topic selection and research.
The main content of the paper comes from published materials, that is, indirect materials, which belong to the third kind of literature. Combined with the author's personal research data and experience, from various channels, scattered, unsystematic, repetitive and even contradictory data, according to personal views and systems, let readers know the development level and progress of a subject or a subject in a short time. Editors occupy a large proportion in medical books (such as textbooks, reference books, special discussions, etc.). ), and comments, lectures, special written talks, special discussions, etc. In medical journals and magazines, summarization is the representative of compilation.
Although the content of editorial papers is not entirely the research written by the author himself, it is full of new ideas, new introductions, new lenses and new materials. It provides a lot of up-to-date information for original papers. Make a medical field or a special topic more systematic, organized, complete and theoretical, and make it an important part of medical papers.
The original paper is also called the original paper, that is, the original work is the result of the author's investigation, experimental research, clinical research and summary of clinical work experience through specific topics, and it is the author's first-hand information (that is, direct information). Its content is relatively extensive, which can be experimental research, clinical observation, investigation report, medical record report and medical record discussion; It can also be an innovation in medical theory, an indirect and new scientific research achievement; It can also make new theories and technologies apply to the scientific summary of new progress made in practice. The original paper is not only an important symbol of the scientific research level of specific units and individuals, but also the main carrier for medical researchers to put forward some hypotheses and opinions. Its main forms are papers, writings, short reports (such as medical records, technological innovation achievements, experience introduction) and so on. Articles in medical journals are mainly composed of original papers. The original paper should have the author's own opinions, new ideas, new theories and new methods to promote the development of medical science.
Whether in medical papers or other scientific papers, original papers are a very important part. This kind of paper is usually original and innovative, and new ideas and theories are also one of the necessary elements to promote the development of this research field.
Second, according to the nature of medical disciplines and topics.
(1) Basic medical papers
It has become basic medicine to study the anatomical and physiological functions of human body, pathogenic factors, human body's response to the invasion of pathogenic factors and the intervention of drugs or other therapeutic measures to understand the law of mutual transformation between health and disease. Most basic medical papers belong to the scope of basic theoretical research, including experimental research and field investigation, and a few belong to the scope of technical exchange, that is, introducing experimental technology and the design, manufacture and use of related instruments.
(2) Clinical medical papers
Clinical medicine is a subject that studies the mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of diseases in various systems of human body and promotes the transformation of diseases into health. Most clinical medical papers belong to the category of applied research, which can be divided into diagnosis, treatment, nursing and so on. There are theoretical studies and technical reports, and many papers are summarized and analyzed retrospectively at present.
Whether it is basic medicine or clinical medicine, we should pay attention to protecting patients' information in the writing process, and don't easily disclose patients' private information.
Third, according to the purpose of writing the paper.
(1) academic papers
Academic papers summarize, study and discuss the problems in the medical field, express the achievements and theoretical breakthroughs of medical research, and summarize the new achievements of scientific experiments or technological development as exchange information.
There are many types of academic papers, which can be divided into thematic type, comprehensive type, hypothetical type, discussion type and comparison type according to their expressions. According to the content, it can be divided into theoretical type and experimental type. It is the main content of academic conference exchange and medical journals.
(2) Dissertation
Dissertation is a paper written to apply for the qualification of a corresponding degree or academic title in a certain discipline. As an assessment document, it is used to show the author's scientific research achievements and his ability to engage in scientific research independently. It can be said that it is a single paper or a synthesis of a series of papers. Dissertations include graduation thesis, bachelor's thesis, master's thesis and doctoral thesis.
