Abstract


The abstracts of Medicine has a unique role in the dissemination of medical information, medical researchers in various journals, the citation database vast information shortcut to obtain the required information, but also the main medium for the rapid spread of medical technology and research on international. Structured abstract of vast majority of clinical and basic medical journals, but the basis of medical papers writing structured abstract form of the structure there is a fixed single content structure lacks coherence and logic, as well as the content repeat repeat, there is currently no targeted effective way to solve these problems. The method of this study, literature research, comparative study, the core of Sino-US Basic Medical journal abstracts for the study, the main study: ① Sino-US the foundation medical journals for contributors of abstract writing requirements, ② China-US foundation and clinical medicine journal abstracts in the form structure, (3) the content and structure of the Sino-US basis of medical journal abstracts. By comparative analysis of China and the United States of Basic Medical journals abstracts writing structure and writing features, learn from the United States of Basic Medical journal abstracts writing on the advantages and strengths, combined with the actual usage of the medical journal abstracts, explore more suitable reported Basic Medical the form of a summary of the study of structure and more reasonable content writing structure, to solve our problems exist on the basis of medical journals in the English abstract. The findings of this study show that: 1) American the foundation medical journals for contributors in summary form structure, summary writing content requirements specified in more detail than our basic medical journals for contributors to cover, but they were not relevant on summary content and structure how to arrange instructions. 2) structured abstract is mainly used in the American Journal of Medicine study reported etiology, course of disease, diagnosis and treatment of clinical trial medicine (78.8%), and diverse forms of structure to guide the selection of combinations of words visual; non-structured abstract and more for Basic Medical research reports (87.8%). The vast majority of China's medical journals four structured abstract to reported clinical medicine (95.3%) and basic (66%) medical research, with respect to the structure appears to be a single form of abstracts of the American Journal of Medicine, and the guide word almost unchanged. 3) China's Basic Medical Papers Abstract Title and purpose repeat repeat methods, the lack of background information and readability of the poor. 4) summary of the basis of unstructured medical journals compared with the structured abstract, just not with the guide words, have their own unique writing basic structure. This summary from the form of restrictions, its content is more logical, coherent and readable. 5) the basis of medical journal articles nonstructural abstract content including background, objectives, methods, results and conclusions, but two or three adjacent the content usually Fusion narrative, there is no clear distinction between boundaries. It is worth emphasizing that the purpose and method in U.S. non-structured summary important role in addition to its natural properties, respectively, are also serves as a research ideas described in the summary of the lead. The summary form structure is the summary of the contents of the service. Summary of quality first requires content integrity, content structure will be reasonable, and fully and accurately reflect the author's research ideas; followed before considering the formal structure of the well-organized and operability. Structure unstructured summary form structure, is relying on the summary content. Comparison, coherent and logical expression summary content of the content structure is written summary of the key. In view of this, in order to solve the existing problems in the basis of medical journal abstracts writing, we have made reference to the content and structure of the United States of Basic Medical journal abstracts writing combined with writing features for the basis of medical journal abstracts recommended to recommend two kinds for both structured abstracts also applies to the content and structure of the non-structured abstract scheme of arrangement. ① Abstract Objective decomposition stage purpose and elaborated a program of research ideas: Background - (stage aims method combined with the specific methods) - Results - Conclusion; ② inclusion in the exposition of the results of the program: Background - total purpose - (results specific small way) - Conclusion. We both abstract writing program to better reach the summary of the contents of the structure and the formal structure of harmony and unity, and help to improve the quality of the writing of our English abstracts of medical journal articles, and then expand international exchanges and international impact of medical research in China, also will be conducive to the internationalization of China's medical journals.
