医学期刊是临床医生获取新知识的主要来源。不幸的是，包含有效和有价值信息的文章经常被埋在价值较低的文章中。需要创新来帮助临床医生找到既科学合理又适用于他们的实践的文章。一个容易实现的，但部分的解决方案是，对于具有临床意义的文章的作者，组织他们的摘要，以便以部分受控的词汇和标准化的格式报告目的、方法和结果的关键方面。这将帮助临床读者更快地选择合适的文章，允许更精确的计算机化文献搜索，并促进发表前的同行审查。
Medical journals are a principal source of new knowledge for clinicians. Unfortunately, articles containing valid and valuable information are often buried among others of less value. Innovations are needed to assist clinicians in finding articles that are both scientifically sound and applicable to their practices. An easily implemented, although partial, solution is for authors of articles that have clinical implications to structure their abstracts so that key aspects of purpose, methods, and results are reported with a partly controlled vocabulary and in a standardized format. This would assist clinical readers to select appropriate articles more quickly, allow more precise computerized literature searches, and facilitate peer review before publication.
