6. Tips to Write an Impactful
Medical Research Paper

7. The medical research paper should be written
through proper planning and structure in hand.
A chaotically written research paper is bound
to be rejected during the review process.
 Following are some of the tips that prove to
be useful in medical manuscript writing

8. Choose the topic wisely: There are various
criteria for choosing the topic. Some criteria such as
your interest are under your control while other
criteria such as availability of information and the
possibility of research are out of your purview.
Sometimes the topic may also be decided by your
guide. Choose the topic that ticks the maximum
number of boxes.

9. Plan the structure carefully: Working
without planning takes you nowhere. Developing
an outline for carrying out the research is of
immense help while setting a realistic target. You
may also mention the appropriate time to reach
each milestone, if possible.

10. Get into the shoes of reviewers: If you have
already undergone a paper rejection state or
being asked for a paper revision, you should
review your paper like a reviewer. You should try
to figure out what the reviewer requires in your
paper. Planning the structure of the paper will
solve most of your doubts.

11. Optimally utilize the resources: Scientific
manuscript writing is not an easy task and a lot
of resources are to optimally utilize to arrive at
an acceptable research paper. These resources
include attending seminars, comprehensive
internet searching, reading relevant books and
taking an appropriate help from your guides and
mentor.

12. Avoid last-minute writing: Medical
manuscript writing demands a lot of time and
correction through the process. Initiating
Medical paper writing at the last minute will
deteriorate the quality and does not allow enough
time for review which is an essential element.

13. Recognize the power of
grammar: Grammar and vocabulary are also
important components in medical manuscript
writing for creating a positive impact on the
reviewer. Using tough words, one-word
sentences and redundant words may decline the
quality of the research paper.

14.  Follow the guidelines of the journal: Medical
research paper writing should follow the
guidelines set by the journal. The guidelines may
include the structure, formatting, number of
words and reference style.
 Including the references: References provide
authenticity to the information taken from other
sources. It increases the overall credibility of
your research paper.

15.  Review your work after 10 days: After
completing medical paper writing, keep your
research paper away for 10 days.
 Present the data nicely: Medical paper writing is
all about presentation of information
substantiated with adequate data. Reviewers and
subsequent readers easily comprehend the data
presented in the tabulated form.

16.  Never copy: Copying someone’s work in
medical article writing is considered highly
unethical and immoral in the research arena.
 Make your diagrams: Diagrams are an
important part of Medical manuscript
writing. The research is yours and nobody
other than you is the best person to explain
the research.
