ABSTRACT
Writing and publishing biomedical research papers in English for academic purposes (EAP) has become an essential requirement for medical postgraduates in China. To face this challenge, medical postgraduates need adapt themselves to the local environment of English as a second language and the transformation from writing for examinations to writing for application. This change determines the features of biomedical research papers, including being application-oriented, using clear and concise language, organizing the discourse by specific genre rules, and assessing the quality according to the completion of communicative purposes. Based on these features, students can exploit the learning strategies of choosing a word suited for the style, structuring a sentence according to the logic, creating a paragraph of continuity and one main idea, and composing the discourse in line with the genre. These strategies may help medical postgraduates effectively improve their ability to write biomedical research papers in English.
ABSTRACT
After in-depth needs analysis, we combined our previously written textbook with digitalized platform by information technology, and proposed construction principles guided by English for academic purposes (EAP) theories. Through scientific design and ongoing modification, we finally developed an open online digital course with academic and practical properties. The course received positive feedback after release online. It may become an effective way to improve research paper writing skills for medical postgraduates and provide references for medical colleges to develop other EAP digital courses.
ABSTRACT
The abstract of a scientific research paper must be well written and reviewed. Sometimes is the only section of a paper that is read, therefore must have the problem, research question, objective, hypothesis, method, results and conclusions, with the limitation of the study. Editors through the abstract deduce what a paper is about and its scientific relevance. The title condenses the paper's content in a few words, must capture the reader's attention and includes patients and methods. Both, the research summary and title of the paper are used for references databases. The paper gives some tips to write a good research abstract and title.
El resumen de un artículo científico debe ser prolíjamente redactado y revisado ya que muchas veces es lo único que se lee. Debe ser específico y representativo del texto, describiendo el problema, el objetivo, la hipótesis, cómo se hizo la investigación y que resultados se obtuvieron con sus conclusiones, mostrando las limitaciones del estudio. El título debe llamar la atención del lector y describir los pacientes y el método en forma breve. Es en base al resumen que editores evaluan la validez y relevancia del artículo científico. El título y resumen es lo que se incorpora en las bases de datos bibliográficas. En este artículo se describen los pasos para la redacción de un resumen de un buen artículo científico.

With globalization of biomedicine,Chinese postgraduates in medical colleges are facing increasing challenges.Writing and publishing research papers in English have become an essential requirement for their graduation and career development,but for non-native English speakers,having a good command of English for academic purposes (EAP) is of special difficulty.In China,lack of self-written textbooks is a bottleneck that restricts the teaching of EAP.Therefore,guided by EAP theories,this study carries out in-depth demand analysis for graduate students in medical colleges and universities,and designs a textbook framework with genre analysis theory.Based on self-established corpus finally completed an EAP writing textbook for postgraduates of biomedicine.This textbook and the writing and research process can provide implications for construction of EAP textbooks in other principles,thus promoting the all-round development of postgraduate education in China.
ABSTRACT
English biomedical research paper writing is a key skill for biomedical postgraduates as it directly determines the publicity of their research findings and their international academic influence. It belongs to the field of ESP (English for Specific Purposes), and has the characteristics of diversified students, specialized and complicated teaching content, and a curriculum with time and space constraints. Based on the characteristics, needs analysis of this course as well as years of discipline construction and teaching research, the flipped classroom for English biomedical research paper writing based on collaborative teaching is put forward, which has combined the advantages of both collaborative teaching and flipped classroom: it integrates the knowledge expertise of biomedical teachers and English teachers to meet the requirements for ESP teachers; in the meantime, it has broken the time and space constraints of traditional classroom through "after-class knowledge input and in-class knowledge extension and deepening", blazing new trails for course delivery.

Objective In order to learn about the cognitive condition of data processing and diagram designing in medical postgraduates, and provide data for improving the teaching mode and content. Methods A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to a total of 150 medicine graduate students in three grades by cluster sampling to understand the cognitive situation and teaching requirements of data process-ing and chart making in scientific research papers by postgraduates of different levels and different cate-gories. EpiData software was used for data entry and sorting, and SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive analysis and chi square test. Results 64.08％ (110) of the students used statistical software, but only 32.39％ (32) could use it expertly, in which graduate students were less proficient in doctoral students (P<0.05), and academic graduate students were less proficient in professional graduate students (P<0.05); in addition, 90.14％(128) of the students thought that the scientific research data processing and charting related courses were very important, while 82.39％ (117) supported the opening of related courses. Conclusion Graduate students' scientific research ability directly affects the level of scientific research. According to postgraduates' demand for data processing and chart making of research papers, it is of great significance to enhance teach-ing reform and improve teaching quality of higher medical education.

ABSTRACT
Background: We thought that it is needed to look over the past issues in the Korean Geriatrics Society Articles, in order to assure that it is proper as an academic journal of geriatrics. We scrutinized the articles published in the Journal of the Korean Geriatrics Society. Methods: We analyzed 20 volumes of Journal of the Korean Geriatrics Society, published from 2001 to 2005. We counted the number of review articles, original articles and case reports by year. We classified articles as geriatric principles, basic sciences, and clinical studies, which were classified again by subjects as understanding of geriatrics and elderly patients, problem common in elderly people, and clinical trial. We stratified articles by the research methods, such as descriptive, analytical(cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort study), and investigational study. Results: Journal of the Korean Geriatrics Society was published in every three months. For 5 years, 191 articles were published, which included 27 review articles(14.1%), 130 original articles(68.1%), and 34 case reports(17.8%). They were dealing with the geriatric principles in 51, basic science in 13, and clinical study in 93 articles respectively. By subjects, 64 articles(33.4%) worked on understanding of geriatrics and elderly patients, and many original articles were related with the cardiovascular and neurological system. Neurological diseases were most common in case reports. There were 40 descriptive(30.8%), 82 analytical(64.0%: cross-sectional 43.1%, casecontrol 19.2%, cohort 0.7%), and 8 investigational studies(6.2%). Conclusion: The proportion of original articles was highest in Journal of the Korean Geriatrics Society. A third of all articles were relevant to geriatrics original, and two thirds were analytical, which were thought to be proper as an academic journal of geriatrics.
