The Principles of Biomedical Scientific Writing: Introduction2018 •
A well-written introduction of a scientific paper provides relevant background knowledge to convince the readers about the rationale, importance, and novelty of the research. The introduction should inform the readers about the "problem", "existing solutions", and "main limitations or gaps of knowledge". The authors' hypothesis and methodological approach used to examine the research hypothesis should also be stated. After reading a good introduction, readers should be guided through "a general context" to "a specific area" and "a research question". Incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated reviews of the literature are the more common pitfalls of an introduction that may lead to rejection. This review focuses on the principles of writing the introduction of an article and provides a quick look at the essential points that should be considered for writing an optimal introduction.

The Complete Guide to Medical Writing covers a wide variety of topics pertinent to a medical writer. This book is written in a casual, brief, and condensed format and as such, the information is provided at a level of detail below that sought by most advanced writers. Sections ...

Title, abstract, key words and references in biomedical articles2003 •
Scientists frequently communicate the results of their work in research reports. When writing scientific articles, authors must follow instructions and requirements of standard article format. A scientific paper should have in proper order, a Title, , Introduction, Material and Methods Results, Discussion, Conclusion and Literature. A title should be the fewest possible words that accurately describe the content of the paper. It should attract researchers' attention in order to be included in their investigation. An abstract is a short summary of the article. It concisely summarizes results and conclusion so that essential details of the paper can be understood in 100 - 250 words. The most commonly used are structured abstracts. Key words are provided below the abstract and describe the medical concepts characteristic for the whole article. Assign at least one and an average of 5 to 10 key words. Indexing in biomedicine means using the Thesaurus of the American National Library ...
The title is the main advertisement for an article and enables the reader to decide whether they want to read the article or not. The title should be simple, specific and reflect the article's content clearly and precisely in 10 - 15 words. The abstract summarizes the whole article in 200 to 250 words and should be structured for a research article. It includes the problem or the study objectives, the methods used, the main results obtained and the conclusion reached. Most authors write the abstract last, so that it accurately reflects the content of the article. Keywords are placed below the abstract and are usually 3 - 7 in number. Choosing right keywords will enhance the article being found by other researchers as these are used by abstracting and indexing services. Ultimately, a well-cited research article depends on how well the title, abstract and keywords are written.

Therefore, academic writing is an essential skill for researchers. However, preparing a manuscript is not an easy task, and it is difficult to write well. Following a structure may be helpful for researchers. For example, the standard structure of medical and medical science articles includes the following sections: introduction, methods, results, and discussion (IMRAD).
