Science and implicitly medical practice are under the auspices of the information explosion. Through the development of computer systems and networks, specialists have access to a very large volume of information sources, but information is a resource that we can use at optimal parameters only if we understand its true value.
Scientific research is the main source of new information, and to understand the current state of knowledge, to update knowledge, we need to know, and if we do not know, to learn to "read" the documents that report its results. Medical professional training, in the academic environment (as a student, resident, master student, doctoral student) or individual (as a doctor in the continuous process of improvement, throughout life) requires information and documentation, both to meet the requirements of external factors (teachers , patients), but also to their own standards, as people and specialists in this field.
This paper provides basics on the uses in reporting medical scientific research. I believe that without this useful information, the access of medical specialists to medical research, in their dual capacity as creators and / or consumers of medical information, would be much more difficult.
A special invitation to "leaf through" this paper is addressed to those who are in the process of studying or completing the undergraduate, master's and doctoral cycles that involve the realization of a specific academic paper.
I think it will be useful for them!
We must not forget that the evolution in the professional activity often presupposes, besides a continuous information, the communication of some results obtained through our own research. And then, in compiling these articles, which must comply with the requirements set by the publishers of magazines, I believe that this work will surely be of help!
And finally, if the above caught your attention, take a look! Next decide if among the items in this book are some that could help you in your work!
I wish you success!
