Common problems and countermeasures in clinical research papers from an editorial perspective
A clinical research paper is the presentation of the clinical research results,and its quality reflects the scientificity and standardization of the research,and the accuracy of the results.As a clinical medical editor,the author has identified numerous problems during the editing and proofreading processes of clinical research papers,which involve the aspects of ethics in research content,selection of research subjects,adoption of research methods,rationality of treatment methods,rigor of outcome indicators,and comprehensiveness of research result analysis.Based on the experience in editing and proofreading clinical research papers,this paper proposes three countermeasures from an editorial perspective to address the above problems:improving the standardization of clinical ethics and reference criteria,ensuring the scientificity of research methods,and verifying the rigor of research results and conclusions,so as to help improve the paper-writing proficiency of clinical doctors,as well as the skills of initial review,editing,and proofreading of medical editors for clinical research papers.
