Key attributes of good scientific writing: Components 1-3 of 4
Scientific writing is different from other types of writing, with the major themes being concision, precision, and translation. I see these issues all the time in my editing and writing work; I just started reviewing for another Medline journal, and I also just rejected a major paper submitted to our journal IJHNFM: Concision: Keep the article as short as possible; make each word count. Articles that are too wordy don't get read because the readers realize that either/both

PRESS RELEASE: New Insights into Chronic Pain Conditions such as Migraine and Fibromyalgia are Provi

The distinction is of massive impo
Unnecessary Idiopathicity
Among the perplexing paradoxes that exist in healthcare is coexistence of our adoration of allopathy for its “scientific method” along with the description of most chronic diseases as “idiopathic.” If the allopathic use of the scientific method were so adroit, then why are so many conditions described as having “no known cause”? Is the scientific method inadequate, or is the allopathic lens incapable of bringing disease causation into focus? Perhaps a third option exists: tha
