Abstract
This paper aims to provide an introduction to junior authors on how to write a medical paper in a clearer and more scientific manner. One important thing to be always remembered is that the reviewer and the reader will be reading your paper for the first time, and thus, you should make it as lucid as possible. You should pay attention to consistency in every regard in your paper. Use of the active voice usually makes the sentences shorter and clearer in meaning. Organize your content carefully and present it logically, avoiding unnecessary repetition in different sections. Give a diligent thought to every aspect; research is a work of the mind, not of the hands. Write technically, using powerful language. Most importantly, fulfill the exact submission requirements of the journal.
Key Words: Writing, Medical paper, Research
