(1) Basic Requirements for Works The quality and level of medical journals mainly depend on the quality and level of published academic papers. A high-quality, high-level work should meet the following requirements:
1. Ideologically: follow the ideological line of dialectical materialism and implement the principles and policies of the party and the state on health work. Abide by scientific ethics and prevent political mistakes and leaks.
2. Originality: new discoveries or inventions are required compared with published documents. Basic research needs new topics, advanced methods and new viewpoints; Clinical research needs to collect more cases, more in-depth observation and research, innovative diagnosis and treatment methods, better results and new insights. In the past, many manuscripts were not adopted after being submitted to periodicals, mainly because the author only repeated the contents of past documents or textbooks and lacked new ideas or viewpoints.
3. Science:
(1) The topic selection should have sufficient scientific basis; (2) The materials used and the methods selected should have sufficient comparability and necessary randomness; (3) truthfully reflect the research process, provide accurate observation data, and comprehensively analyze the research data; (4) Reasoning is logical, and the conclusion emphasizes rigor.
4. Practicality: Except for a few pure theoretical research papers, most medical works should be combined with clinical and preventive work. The greater the practical value, the stronger the guiding role and the more popular it will be for readers.
5. Readability: The written expression of medical works should be accurate, concise and fluent. Use standardized technology style. Let readers get the most knowledge and information in the least time.
Editors have the right to reject works that do not meet the above requirements.
(2) The overall structure of the treatise Over the years, medical treatises have formed a fixed format, namely introduction, materials and methods.
Methodsm), results and discussion, whose initials are taken from abroad, referred to as IMRAD, we call it "four stages" For most medical works, the "four stages" are universally applicable.
1. Preface: or introduction.
This paper mainly summarizes the research background, purpose, research ideas, theoretical basis, research methods, expected results and significance. Some studies need to explain the year when the study started. Make readers have a general understanding of the theme and background of this article, which leads to the following.
The preface requires pointing out the theme and grasping the center. You can quote and analyze several important documents in the past, but you can't trace back to history and list documents for a long time. Don't easily use expressions such as "the first at home and abroad", "the literature has not been reported" and "the previous research has not been done" to prevent inappropriate self-evaluation. The preface should be ≤250 words.
2. Methods:
This paper mainly introduces the selection of research objects (human or experimental animals, including the control group) and the methods used in the research. Commonly used titles are "materials and methods", "objects and methods" and "materials and methods".
(1) The therapeutic study should indicate whether it is a prospective randomized controlled study; Diagnostic research should explain the gold standard of diagnostic test, the theoretical basis and methods of new test, etc. Clinical research must introduce the sources, selection criteria and general situation of cases and controls, and should indicate whether the participants in the research have informed consent.
(2) The animal's name, strain, grade, quantity, source, sex, age, weight, feeding conditions and health status should be stated in the experimental study.
(3) The details of "method" should be stated in the method created by individuals to prevent others from repeating it. The improved method should explain the improvement in detail, and give the source of the original method by citing literature. If you directly quote other people's methods, you should indicate the source of the method by quoting literature, and you don't need to describe it.
(4) Drugs and reagents should use chemical names, and indicate the dosage, unit, purity, batch number, production unit and production time.
(5) Instruments and equipment shall be marked with name, model, specification, production unit, precision or error range. There is no need to describe how it works.
(6) The specific statistical processing method and its selection basis shall be explained. It should be noted that clinical research methods must be based on the principle of not harming patients' interests, and experimental research methods should have practical guiding significance for clinical work.
3. Results:
This is the core part of the paper. The academic value of this book mainly depends on this part.
The results of (1) should not simply list all kinds of original materials and data obtained in the research process, but must be summarized and analyzed to draw corresponding conclusions, and then expressed in words, figures and tables.
(2) The narrative of the results should be true and accurate. Whether the result is positive or negative, positive or negative, it should truthfully reflect the success or failure of clinical application.
(3) All data in the paper should be statistically processed. The mean and percentage should be tested for significance, otherwise it is easy to cause illusion. Pay attention to the difference between structural index (ratio) and strength index (ratio). When the statistical significance test shows that P value
4. Discussion:
This paragraph mainly evaluates, clarifies and infers the research results of this paper. The contents of this section vary from clause to clause, and generally include:
(1) expounds the principle and mechanism of this research work;
(2) Explain the characteristics, gains and losses of the materials and methods in this paper;
(3) Compare the results of this paper with those of others, and analyze their advantages and disadvantages;
(4) Summarize the research results in theory and put forward new viewpoints;
(5) Compare and evaluate different viewpoints;
(6) Propose the future exploration direction and prospect. Of course, it is impossible to cover the above problems in every article, and it needs to be handled appropriately according to the text. discuss
We should adhere to the research results of this paper, highlight new discoveries and new viewpoints, and avoid repeating the above contents and the contents reported in previous literature, but we can't just describe them as "consistent" or "consistent with other people's reports". Discussions generally do not include charts and tables.
(3) the hierarchical layout of the works
1. Title:
Make the finishing point, highly summarize the main idea of the full text. Chinese titles are generally
2. Author's name and work unit name:
(1) The author's signature shows that he is responsible for the content of the paper, which is also a respect for the author's copyright. There should not be too many signatories, and they must be all or major workers; Be responsible for the content of this article and be able to reply.

(3) the author's work unit should write the full name and postal code. If possible, indicate the email address of the contact person.
(4) After the paper is published, all authors should be invited to sign the power of attorney for exclusive use of the paper one by one, and the exclusive use right of the paper will be granted to the Chinese Medical Association.
3. Chinese and English abstract:
(1) Abstract is located before the text, relatively independent and spontaneous. Series journals of Chinese Medical Association generally adopt structured abstracts, including four elements: purpose, method, result and conclusion.
(2) Chinese and English abstracts are written in the third person, without charts, references, comments or explanations.
(3) If English abbreviations are used in Chinese abstracts, the full names in Chinese and English should be given when they are used for the first time; Abbreviations used in English abstracts should be given their complete English names when used for the first time.
(4) The Chinese abstract is about 400 words; The English abstract can be a little more detailed, about 600 substantive words; The main contents of Chinese and English abstracts are the same.
4. Keywords: choose words and phrases that reflect the theme of the article, so as to facilitate document indexing, document retrieval and reading.
(1) Each essay requires 3-8 keywords (subject words) to be placed after the abstract. Try to get the latest medical thesaurus (medical theme T) compiled by the National Library of Medicine.
title
Mesh). For Chinese translation, please refer to Notes on Medical Subject Words compiled by Institute of Information, China Academy of Medical Sciences. Keywords of TCM should be selected from the Thesaurus of TCM Subject compiled by Institute of TCM Information, Chinese Academy of TCM.
(2) Pay attention to the choice of title words and reflect the main content of the full text.
(3) Words not included in the glossary can be used as keywords when necessary.
5. Text:
(1) Pay attention to the clear hierarchy. The titles of Materials and Methods, Results, Discussions and References are centered and displayed in bold without serial numbers. The hierarchical serial numbers in each section are used in sequence: 1, 2, ................................................................................................................................................... (1) (2) ... (No punctuation after the serial number); 1.2 ... (dot after serial number); (1) (2) ... (No punctuation after the serial number). If necessary, you can use serial numbers by skipping files. Except for 1, 2, (1) and (2) ..... the text is not arranged after the title, but can be arranged after the titles of other layers.
(2) The length of the paper is generally about 5000 words. Foreword accounts for about 5% ~ 7%, materials, methods and results account for 25% ~ 35% respectively, and discussion accounts for about 30% ~ 40%. (3) table, figure, and word. The contents of the three should not be repeated, mainly in words. Form: the requirements are simple and clear, the subject and predicate are clear, the level is clear, the structure is complete, and you are complacent. The series of magazines of Chinese Medical Association all adopt three horizontal lines, namely, the table with the top line, the top line and the bottom line as the basic framework. Each table should have a table order and a table title. The title consists of topic title and predicate title. The vertical title of the theme is listed in the upper left corner of the table, and the horizontal title below it reflects the theme mark, and the horizontal title represents each horizontal number or text; Predicate column headings are listed at the top of the table, indicating the meaning of numbers or words in each column. The data, quantity, units, symbols and abbreviations in the table must be consistent with the text. (2) Illustration: It requires a clear theme to explain and supplement the text, which is self-evident, that is, you can understand the meaning of the picture only by looking at the picture, title and legend without looking at the text. Line drawing requires uniform lines and distinct main and auxiliary lines. The vertical and horizontal axes should be vertical. Vertical and horizontal coordinate marking lines should be marked on the inside of the coordinate axis. The names of vertical and horizontal targets are generally quantities or test items and their unit symbols, which are centered on the outside of the ordinate axis and below the abscissa axis respectively. The left and right ordinate names are written from bottom to top, with upper left and lower right; The abscissa names are written from left to right. The quantities, units and symbol abbreviations in the drawing must be consistent with the text. Pathological pictures should indicate the staining method and magnification under the microscope.
(4) Correct use of grammar and rhetoric. Language is required to be accurate, concise, fluent, grammatical and rhetorical.
(5) Pay attention to standardization. Medical terminology has been approved and published by the National Committee for the Examination and Approval of Scientific and Technical Terminology. Medical Terminology published by Science Press and related disciplines as the standard. However, through the terms in this topic, we can use the terms such as "the latest medical thesaurus (item)", "m" and "treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine". The term "universal translation" has not been given. The text or comments of the original text are given when the text first appears. Chinese and western medicines should be based on the latest versions and common names of People's Republic of China (PRC) Pharmacopoeia and China Pharmacopoeia. Traditional Chinese medicine shall not pass the names and commodity names compiled by the Pharmacopoeia Committee of China Pharmacopoeia. Units of measurement must implement the new units of measurement issued by the State Council and People's Republic of China (PRC), and must be represented by unit symbols. For specific usage, please refer to the book Legal Units of Medical Metrology edited and published by Chinese Medical Association. In the first batch of publicly recognized Chinese and English abbreviations, Chinese and English abbreviations and abbreviations should be indicated in brackets.
