Q: Can you give me some tips on how to write a Chinese medicine paper?
I want to write a paper on Chinese medicine. What are some of the things that I should keep in mind?
- The introduction should provide background information and should be written in a way that is accessible to researchers without specialist knowledge in the area.
- The methods section should include the design of the study, the setting, the type of participants or materials involved, a clear description of all interventions and comparisons, and the type of analysis used. Generic drug names should generally be used with brand names in parentheses where applicable.
- For studies involving human participants, documents of ethical approval and informed consent should be included in the methods provided.
