Didactics-How to write a manuscript

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer discusses what they consider when setting up and writing a manuscript. They emphasize the importance of publishing results in order to impact the advancement of the field and highlight the need for believability through publication. The highest priority is given to new and original research, particularly prospective randomized trials. Large retrospective series on relevant topics of interest are also attractive for publication. Contradictory findings and review articles on current topics are also considered appealing. The video suggests conducting literature searches to ensure the topic hasn't been extensively published before, seeking expert opinions, attending conferences to stay up-to-date, and discussing ideas within the research community to avoid duplication. Considerations for choosing the right journal include determining the target audience, evaluating the journal's scope and article similarities, and considering the impact factor. The video also provides guidance on writing a concise and cohesive manuscript, with sections on titles, authorship, abstracts, introductions, methods, results, discussions, and references. It concludes by explaining the journal's review process and their relatively short average time to publication. No specific credits were mentioned.
