1)ThePaperTitle(2)标题应力求简练，实词10个左右，省略没有实际意义的词，如：thestudyof研究,theinvestigationof成果调查,theobservationof观察,theresearchof研究,theanalysisof分析,thecomparisonof比较,等。如果标题过长，可以分出一部分作为副标题。(3)

尽量避免用缩写词，因为英文缩写词太多，容易使读者费解。国外核心学术期刊中，对缩写词的使用非常谨慎，第一次出现必须先写全名，缩写附后加括号。国外学术期刊论文标题使用缩写的情况不占1%，而我国学术期刊中论文标题用缩写词的却达10%以上，这也是不能与国际接轨的一个方面。

(4）标题中常用的介词有of（表示动宾关系，所属关系，或同位关系）,on（表示对…的作用或影响）,in（在某范围或人群中）,with（患有某种疾病）,for（其目的或以便…）等。(5)利用检索工具统计分析医学论文英文标题利用Wordsmith及Range32等对所收集的2000个论文标题进行统计分析，得到具体数据如下：总形符19475个，标题平均长度为9.72个词，平均词长为5.59个字母。其中AmericanJournalofMedicine中出现重复标题4个，AnnalsofInternalMedicine重复标题有41个，ArchivesofInternalMedicine没有重复标题，BritishMedicalJournal上有10个重复的标题。下表

共出现1038次，分析以下各行中of

的使用频率仅次于介词of，共出现724次，后面跟人群，患者，疾病的范围或者指某一方面或部位。学术论文的标题一般有短语构成，如名词短语、动名词短语、介词短语等。少数也有完整的句子，以陈述句居多，间或有疑问句。英汉论文标题对比*Blindnessaftertreatmentofmalignanthypertension恶性高血压治疗后的视觉缺失（研究）*Self-accessEnglishLearninginwebenvironment网络环境下的自主英语学习*Secondarypreventionofprimarylivercancer:Randomizedcontrolledprospectivestudy原发性肝癌二级预防的随机分组前瞻性研究*Essentialfattyacidsinfullterminfantsfedbreastmilkorformula足月婴儿母乳喂养和配方喂养必需脂肪酸对比研究a.名词短语（N+Preposition）*Recentlytrainedgeneralpediatricians:perspectivesonresidencytrainingandscopeofpractice.*

用汉语拼音署名已被国际上认可，因此,不必把姓和名倒置，为了区别姓和名，现在惯用的方法是：姓在前，全部大写汉语拼音，名在后，只大写第一个字母。中国人复名较多，连节一起即可。如：WANGFang（王方）;LINGuoyou

（林国友）;ZHANGHui-fang。署名三人为易，三人以上的作者省去，加etal

(等)。如：BakerS.P./BraverE.R./ChenL.H.etal.2)英文署名(Author’sName)作者单位在作者之后，按从小到大顺序排列，实词大写第一个字母，如：DepartmentofNephrology,ShanghaiChildren’sHospital,Shanghai200040,P.R.China上海市儿童医院肾病科（附所在城市，邮编，中国）。3.作者单位(Author’sAffiliation)关键词:

写好英文摘要的正文有助于稿件的采用，目前美国儿科核心期刊文摘（CoreJournalsinPediatrics）英文摘要有５０％以上是结构式摘要，摘要的长度在200至400词左右。摘要正文的写作按照论文IMRAD(Introduction,Methods,ResultsandDiscussion)的格式对重点进行加工整理，以引导词（Objective,Methods,ResultsandConclusion）所提示的内容描述。5)摘要(Abstract)

而英国一些期刊的结构式摘要力求祥实，大都有七部分组成：Objectives;Design;Setting;Subjects;Mainoutcomemeasurements;Results;Conclusion.摘要的长度在400词左右。有的作者对写摘要不够重视，三言两语，不能体现文中的主要内容，这样不易采用。英文摘要的写作既有格式和内容的要求，又有科技英语语言特点的要求，举例说明如下：英文摘要的类别与组成要素传统式
