How to Write a Scientific Paper in the Field of Anesthesiology

Abstract

  Writing scientific papers is important work and can provide a great contribution to the world we live in. Current anesthesiologists stand on the shoulders of previous scientists, who provided findings that are being used for modern treatments, and have a responsibility to add to their work and contribute to the future world of medical discovery. The basic steps toward publication include performing research, preparing the results, writing a manuscript, and submitting the final proof, followed by editorial review and revising for publication.
  A typical medical manuscript has the following sections: title, authors' names and addresses, abstract, introduction, main body of the text, conclusion/summary, acknowledgments, references, illustrations and figures with captions, and tables. The title should adequately inform the reader about the content of the manuscript without ambiguity, and should be concise as well as comprehensive. The title is important, because most information retrieval services, browser search tools, and databases rely on manuscript titles to prepare their indexes.
  After being written, the entire manuscript should be edited repeatedly to improve the wording and help the reader understand the results presented. Citations and the style of the references are also important matters to consider.
  Scientific misconduct must be avoided, such as gift authorship and redundant publication, and the same material should not be published in different journals. Each paper should also contain some new information. In addition, so-called “fraud”, such as plagiarism and fabrication, must not be done.
