Is the case report a paper? Don't belong. Although both can be used as articles written by medical staff, there are differences between them. Many authors don't know much about case reports and works. Here's a brief introduction.

1, case report

Case report, also known as case report, is generally a form of paper written by people in the medical industry, such as reporting rare clinical cases or newly discovered cases. The medical papers written can also be used for professional communication and sharing among people in the industry.

An obvious difference is that the length of general case reports is relatively short, which may be hundreds or thousands of words. It is understood that the standard for most SCI magazines to publish case reports is that no one has reported such case reports, and case reports have made great contributions to professional knowledge. Therefore, the requirements for case reports are very strict, and they must be true and have research results.

2. About books

Papers refer to argumentative papers, which are also common forms of expression in the genre of medical papers and have specific concepts. However, at present, there is an accurate recognition standard for it in China, but it can also be added as academic achievements when evaluating professional titles, so many people confuse papers with papers. Here, we can learn the difference between prose and essay.

But in fact, compared with case reports, the works are more books, and the requirements for the number of words are higher. Although publishing as a work is generally at least 40,000-50,000 words, we usually have about 200,000-300,000 words. Of course, it can also be published as a journal paper, so the number of words is relatively small, generally around 3000-8000 words.
