Practical tips for writing a scientific article

The text explores the importance of scientific publishing in the medical field and the dual role of the author/reviewer. The reviewer's work is crucial, as their objective is to assist other authors in improving their manuscripts and ensuring that methods are reproducible, which allows for the validation of results in future studies. In the interest of greater transparency, we emphasise the role of publication guidelines, such as CONSORT, which promote rigorous and reproducible research. There is substantial evidence demonstrating that adherence to these guidelines can enhance the quality of articles. Finally, researchers are encouraged to contribute honestly to the advancement of knowledge and best clinical practices, with the hope that their findings will translate into public health benefits.
