attn -Prasad Re: writing a manuscript

[Guest guest]

hello,

In Vancouver style referencing, the last name is mentioned followed by the initials. In your case it is proper to write

Prasad RBR .There are no spaces between the first name and middle name initials.

Dear Dr. Kunda / Group Members,

I have a query on the naming pattern for an author.

If the Author name is like "Raghavendra Prasad B R", where the First Name is "Raghavendra", Last name is "Prasad", and initils is "B R".

So we should write it as "Prasad B R R" or "Raghavendra P B R" or "Raghavendra B R P" or what is the ideal author name according to Vancouver style.

Inputs on the same are welcome.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Raghav

hello Friends,

I will be discussing the details of manuscript writng taking one section at a time. Today we will talk about Title of the paper.

After having learnt the basics of medical writing in general , lets come to the actual writing of a research paper. Usually the journal to which you intend to send your publication, has detailed instructions to the author, on the format of writing. Many of the journals have ready templates in which you simply fill in the necessary segments of your paper.

We have seen that the usual format consists of Title, abstract, introduction, methods, observations / results, discussion and conclusion.

We will discuss each of the segments individually.

The title page should contain:

1. The title of the article,

2. First name, middle initial, and last name of each author, (eg. Kunda J Gharpure). The style may differ according to the directives of each journal. (eg. Gharpure KJ,) 3. Name of department(s) and / institutional affiliations

4. A short running title ( word count depending on the journal)

5. Source(s) of support

6. Disclaimers if any

7. Name and address of the corresponding author, including phone and fax numbers and e-mail address. kunda
