A guide to clinical research writing on public health for clinical researchers – pubrica
Posted: Aug 02, 2020
Public Health:
Public Health is defined by WHOas "the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society" (Acheson, 1988; WHO). Public health focuses on the entire spectrum of health and wellbeing, not only the eradication of particular diseases.
Clinical Research Writing:
Clinical research is the backbone of public health. Summarizing the findings in the form of a research article is the last and most important step in clinical research. It is the ethical and moral duty of researchers to provide accurate and clear information about the research. This is relevant as it not only communicates the essence of the research conducted but also provides direction for future research.
Professional medical writing solutions are legitimate and well accepted in the field of scientific medical writing by the medical fraternity. However, the medical world is still not fully aware that it is ethical to use scientific medical writing services for clinical research writing.
Writing a good research article:
Broadly, there are two aspects to writing a good research article - Content and format. Content should be plagiarism free, up to date, relevant, crisp, and clear. The format should follow Journal instruction for authors as far as possible. Research articles that conform to the Journal requirements are more likely to be taken as it saves time, energy, and money for the publishers.
A good title:
A good title for a research article should be concise, precise, and informative. It should also include keywords that would show up during a digital search.
Abstract - a good summary:
An abstract helps a reader decide whether he/she wants to continue reading the entire article. After the title, it is the second most often read part of being a research article —consistency between the article and its abstract needs to be ensured by using similar wording in both sections. Hence, the abstract should always be written after writing the entire article.
Most journals ask for a structured abstract consisting of
- objectives
- methodology (setting of the study, participants, interventions, and outcomes)
- results
- conclusions
Introduction:
A good introduction should have the scientific background and provide the build-up to the study.It should begin by explaining how the issue under study is of public health interest. It should provide a good summary of all scientific literature that is relevant to the current research study starting from the already established outcomes to the arena of the unknown. It should finally define the study objectives clearly and provide justification for the research project.
Methods:
In a logical and chronological fashion, the study methodology should be described with respect to the study setting, the participants, the sample size and distribution, the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the study design and type of study, interventionsare undertaken and statistical methods used for summarising and analyzing the data. Ethical issues, including regulatory approvals and consent, should be clearly defined. Information provided should be accurate, complete, and concise.
Results:
Results should correlate with the findings mentioned under methodology and should be summarised in the form of tables, graphs, and figures as far as possible. Long texts and jargon should be avoided by reporting results objectively and honestly. Text is used only for subjective evaluation of the results. This section usually follows a distinct pattern of reporting. Patient demographic information is initially summarised, followed by primary outcomes (in different demographic groups) followed by secondary outcomes.Negative outcomes and limitations of the study are then mentioned, followed by ambiguous areas.
Discussion:
This section discusses the meaning of the study outcomes and compares them with the outcomes of other similar studies. The structure of this section includes the presentation of the primary findings followed by comparison with previous studies and assessing the strengths and limitations of the study. Grey areas of the study are highlighted mentioning requirement for further research and suggest a methodology for the same.
Conclusions:
This section is optional, and content should be supported by the study findings.
Acknowledgements:
Source of funding and any relevant conflict of interest needs to be mentioned in this section. It also acknowledges someone with a significant contribution to the study but who cannot be mentioned as an author.
