Abstract
MENDOZA-MORALES, Isaac; LOZADA-MARTINEZ, Ivan David; THORNE-VELEZ, Hernando and CABRERA-VARGAS, Luis Felipe. From an idea to an original publication in surgery: A guide for future academic surgeons. Future Surgeons Chapter, Colombian Surgical Association. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.3, pp.422-431. Epub Apr 29, 2023. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.2376.
Introduction.
Recently, there has been an exponential growth of articles by students and young authors; however, most of the articles have not been cited. This review presents an easy-to-interpret manual, applicable during the process of writing an original academic manuscript in surgery.
Methods.
A systematic literature review was performed in academic databases using the keywords “Academic Manuscript”, “Surgery”, “Research” and “How to do it”, as well as synonyms; the search date was performed until March 2023, where original studies, reviews and STROCSS 2021 guidelines were included.
Results.
It was possible to compile an empirical guide, with useful recommendations and guidelines for the creation of an academic manuscript in surgery, optimal for use at all academic levels.
Conclusion.
Tools should be provided that are applicable at all educational levels, from a student to a graduate surgeon. The authors seek to show a way to transform an idea into an original scientific publication of high impact, in a methodical and easy to understand way, so this article acts as an incentive and facilitator for scientific and academic production in surgery in Colombia and Latin America.
