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.

A apresentação dos resultados de um trabalho é ponto crucial da metodologia científica, e o envio de resumo para congressos é frequentemente sua primeira forma de comunicação pública. O resumo contém estrutura definida e é semelhante aos resumos de artigos científicos, com introdução, objetivo, métodos, resultados e conclusões. No entanto, o resumo para congresso não é apresentado como parte de artigo completo e, por isso, ele deve conter as informações necessárias e mais relevantes. Neste artigo, detalhamos sua estrutura e algumas dicas para torná-lo tecnicamente correto.
The presentation of study results is a key step in scientific research, and submitting an abstract to a meeting is often the first form of public communication. Meeting abstracts have a defined structure that is similar to abstracts for scientific articles, with an introduction, the objective, methods, results and conclusions. However, abstracts for meetings are not presented as part of a full article and, therefore, must contain the necessary and most relevant data. In this article, we detail their structure and include tips to make them technically correct.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the quality of abstracts of original non-experimental research articles in Brazilian Journals in Surgery. METHODS: Convenience sample of 471 abstracts of original research articles from six Brazilian surgical journals indexed in Thomson Reuters (ISI) Web of Knowledge. The quality of abstracts was measured against a checklist of eight evaluation criteria, which were divided into 32 categories. The total score for each abstract was obtained by summing the score of all criteria present. The overall mean score was also determined. RESULTS: The overall mean score of abstract quality was that of a good abstract. Most of the abstracts contained some information from each of the eight basic categories of an abstract. All abstracts were structured ones. CONCLUSION: The overall quality, for abstracts of original articles of six Brazilian non-experimental journals in surgery, was classified as good.

Context – Reference section of the articles being published in various medical journals have got a wide range of variations in the format they follow. The current paper tries to venture into this area and to consider the need and possibly of having a uniform referencing system. Objective – The study aims at identifying the variations in the referencing style followed by various journals. Design – The study included the observation of differences in referencing pattern of journals. Outcome measures – the differences in the pattern of referencing. Results – Inspite of the existing guidelines on writing the references, the journals are far from uniform in this regard.

Se trabaja sobre el concepto de revista científica y se traza una breve historia de la misma. Se profundiza en la revista como formato bibliográfico, en las diferentes etapas que implican la identificación del título mismo y el rescate de los contenidos de la publicación en sus aspectos formales e intelectuales: el registro bibliográfico y la indización, y se alerta sobre la necesidad de ampliar la visibilidad de los títulos argentinos para aumentar la difusión de los trabajos de quienes han contribuido con sus investigaciones.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar e comparar a qualidade dos resumos apresentados em congresso médico (anais do XIV Congresso da Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia, Novembro de 2005). A hipótese testada foi de que trabalhos de melhor qualidade são escolhidos para apresentação oral. MÉTODOS: Todos os 63 resumos apresentados oralmente e uma amostra aleatória simples (n=63) dos 664 expostos como pôster. A qualidade foi aferida por intermédio de questionário estruturado, constituído por 33 critérios, organizados em oito categorias: objetivo, delineamento, local, participantes, intervenção, medida das variáveis, resultados e conclusão. O questionário foi aplicado de maneira não cega por um dos pesquisadores. O escore final podia variar entre 0 (péssimo) e 1 (excelente). RESULTADOS: Os resumos publicados nos anais do congresso obtiveram avaliação apenas regular na aferição da qualidade. Os escores médios de qualidade foram 0,60 e 0,62, respectivamente, para os resumos apresentados oralmente e como pôsteres (diferença não significativa; p=0,086). Os critérios que mais comprometeram a qualidade pertencem às categorias participantes, medida das variáveis, local e conclusão. CONCLUSÃO: A hipótese testada, de melhor qualidade dos resumos selecionados para apresentação oral, não foi confirmada. Recomenda-se aos organizadores de congressos a utilização de critérios objetivos de qualidade para selecionar a forma de exposição dos trabalhos nesse tipo de evento científico e mesmo melhorar a sua qualidade.
OBJECTIVE: To assess and compare quality of abstracts presented at a medical congress (XIV Congresso da Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia, November, 2005). The hypothesis is that material of better quality is chosen for oral presentation. METHODS: All the 63 abstracts selected for oral presentation were compared with a random sample (n=63) of the 664 abstracts registered as poster presentations. Quality was measured by a structured questionnaire comprised of 33 criteria, distributed in eight categories: purpose, research design, setting, subjects, intervention, measurement, results and conclusions. The questionnaire was applied by one of the authors who were not blind to the objective of the study. The final score could range from 0 (bad) to 1 (excellent). RESULTS: Abstracts quality was considered moderately good. The overall mean quality scores were 0.60 and 0.62 respectively, for poster and oral presentation (p = 0.086). The criteria rated poorly were: subjects, variable measurements, location and conclusion. CONCLUSIONS: The tested hypothesis of better quality in abstracts selected for oral presentation has not been confirmed. It is recommended that organizers of the congresses the use of objective quality criteria to select the form of presentation while improving on quality.

This study aimed to examine the accuracy of death certificates for coding coronary heart disease [CHD] as the underlying cause of death in Bahrain. Of the 1714 deaths occurring in Bahrain in 1993, 371 were classified as resulting from CHD. In this study the hospital diagnosis of 109 deaths [52 as CHD and 57 as other causes] were reviewed and re-diagnosed using hospital records. The coding of 459 death certificates [151 as CHD and 308 as other causes] by the Directorate of Public Health was similarly reviewed. The sensitivity and specificity of the hospital diagnosis were 76% and 72% respectively and those of the Directorate of Public Health were 85% and 89% respectively. National mortality statistics in Bahrain, which are based on death certificate data, may overestimate the frequency of CHD. Therefore, it is important that measures are taken to improve the accuracy of certification
