First, the preparation of information
The first is to collect information and inquiry materials around the problem. Although the relevant information and academic trends have been collected and analyzed before the subject inquiry or clinical observation, a large number of relevant documents are still needed to be consulted when writing scientific research papers as a supplement to the mastered documents. Someone has done statistics. Most scientists at home and abroad spend about one-third of their time in the whole scientific research. Without these latest references, it is impossible to make the paper novel and original. This shows the importance and necessity of consulting and collecting documents in the whole process of scientific research and writing.
The purpose of collecting data is to open up ideas and provide theoretical basis for writing papers. Therefore, when collecting information, according to the needs of the paper, the information closely related to the scientific research topic and to be cited will be made into cards, indicating the source, author, title, magazine name, volume, issue, number of pages, age and so on. All these should be missed. Otherwise, it is a waste of time to wait until the article is written and the references are indicated, only to find the missing items and have to find them again.
Collecting data is generally divided into three steps: ① selecting retrieval tools according to query topics; (2) determine the retrieval method; (3) refer to the original literature. When collecting the documents needed for the thesis, we should pay special attention to the following aspects: ① the methods used by predecessors or the methods improved on the basis of predecessors; (2) Support this viewpoint in terms of theoretical familiarity; (3) The conclusions discussed by predecessors are different from those described in their own articles and need to be explained; (4) The issues discussed in this paper are controversial and are being discussed by predecessors. After collecting these materials, make up the serial number for writing articles.
Secondly, the preparation of inquiry materials, including the selection and arrangement of materials, the analysis and processing of experimental observation data, and the fair selection of appropriate drawings, tables and photos. This part of the work is sometimes completed when analyzing the test results.
The third is to refine opinions, clarify results and draw conclusions. After the above-mentioned preparatory work is completed, it is necessary to re-examine the ideas contained in the experimental design according to relevant literature and experimental observation data, and use dialectical materialism to analyze which viewpoints in the design are established in theory and confirmed in the experiment; Which viewpoints have not been confirmed or completely confirmed in the experiment and need to be revised; What phenomena and indicators are beyond the original idea may have new enlightenment and need new analysis. Through the analysis of the test materials, the viewpoints that can be explained by the test materials and the results that can be obtained are extracted, and the conclusions are put forward, so that the test materials and theoretical familiarity can be fully combined. Through the above preparatory work, theory and practice can be completely consistent, thus improving the level of the paper.
Second, the idea
Conception is to think about the layout, order, level, paragraph, content, viewpoint, material and how the whole article starts and ends. Conception is an essential preparation process for writing an article. When conceiving, the theme center of the article should be clear, the materials used to express it should be full, typical and novel, and the structure should be rigorous and interlocking. Only by concentrating on ideas can we have a smooth mind and write good outlines and articles. What preparations should I make before writing a medical paper?
Third, draw up an outline.
Before writing a paper, an outline should be drawn up as the skeleton of the full text, so as to form a structure and clear the way of thinking. On the one hand, the quasi-outline can help the author focus on the overall situation, clarify the levels and key points, and make the article written in an orderly and rigorous manner. On the other hand, through the outline, the author's ideas and viewpoints are fixed in words, so as to achieve clear goals and clear priorities. With the further development of ideas, new problems, new methods and new viewpoints will be found, and the original ideas will be revised and supplemented.
The outline is the outline of the paper, and it should be written as concretely as possible. Outlines are mostly written in the form of titles and abstracts. The title outline summarizes the content of the article in the form of a concise title, and marks the main content of a part or a paragraph with the most concise words, which is concise and easy to remember. It is a common writing method for medical researchers.
