Writing Scientific Papers — Some Suggestions

I wonder if the original poster has written any scientific papers; I hope they can share their experiences. What’s mentioned in the post is too general: handshake

Experiments must be reproducible; otherwise, they will mislead others

Writing papers in a foreign language is not common at the moment, but it is still necessary to have an English topic in the paper

The original poster’s description is too vague; after reading it, there’s nothing that can be learned from it.

A must-read for scholars who want to write excellent papers. If everyone wishes to produce high-quality papers, it is important that they read several original English articles carefully. Of course, I’m happy to see that everyone is asking for the passwords to certain English databases. But I felt really disappointed when everyone was competing over Wanfang, CNKI, and VIP – the value of those things is truly very low. You might not realize it at first, but after reading a few original articles carefully, you’ll find that you no longer want to read anything in Chinese. This isn’t showing favoritism toward foreigners; it’s the truth. Therefore, I advise everyone to consult Chinese databases and read Chinese literature as little as possible, and to read English literature as much as possible in order to improve their overall capabilities and skills. (1) What if I hardly ever read the original English text and can’t understand it? Actually, I had never read the original text before either; I couldn’t understand it. Here’s a good trick: find a classic Chinese book and read only the section that interests you or is relevant to you. Then, find one or two English reviews and read them carefully; you can use Jinnian Ciba to look up any words you don’t know. It might take you two days to read the first article, but when you read it a second time after a few days, it might only take you one day ； Then when you read the second one, you might only need half a day! Then you will surely truly discover the pleasure of reading English literature! Their article analyses are truly thorough and the content is rich; they are excellent whether it comes to clinical or fundamental topics! (Compared with domestic literature). Many of my classmates, after reading a few pieces in a foreign language, no longer want to or are unwilling to read anything in Chinese! Of course, if you don’t understand, you can ask those around you for help. Special terms in general medical and biological literature have distinct characteristics: they are easy to remember and highly reproducible; usually, one can recall them after reading them twice, so there’s no need to worry about not being able to read them. After reading the review, read the English abstract; PubMed is an endless treasure trove that can be used for free. Once you have become proficient, you can then read research articles; clinicians can consult some foreign clinical research papers, and you will find that almost all the content in current textbooks comes from foreign sources, albeit from findings from ten years ago. If you can read current literature, your knowledge will leap to a new level! When you need to conduct in-depth research, it is generally a good idea to first take a look at the abstracts of recent studies, and then selectively read a few high-quality articles. (2) If you read a lot regularly, you will naturally develop a sense and start looking for articles in more advanced magazines. Famous scientists abroad generally have a habit of carefully reading 1-2 high-quality articles from journals such as Science, Nature, and Cell every week. This habit is one that everyone should strive to maintain! And Science is free for Chinese people! There is also a lot of content available for free in Nature; even without a password or anything similar, one can access a great deal of useful information. Colleagues in clinical practice must read The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine! These two books are absolutely classic! In short, I call on everyone to read more English literature! In the future, this forum will try to provide free, legally usable proxies or passwords, etc., so that people can access the original English versions. One more thing to add: (1) The reliability of data in Chinese is extremely poor; many experiments are not trustworthy. I was seriously deceived once – it took me almost two months to replicate a certain experiment, only to find that in foreign-language literature it had been successful on the first attempt. (2) There are also numerous foreign-language publications; these papers have a strong logical structure, and their experiments are highly convincing, which helps to develop one’s scientific thinking skills. But Chinese literature, well, it makes no sense at all. I measure A, then measure B; both values increase, so I conclude that there is a connection between A and B, and articles like this appear frequently in *. (3) Many people are afraid of specialized vocabulary, but in fact, such vocabulary in English follows certain patterns. By working on four articles (let’s say one week per article), one can expand their English vocabulary by a thousand words in just one month, and it will definitely feel refreshing
