What is Clinical Research?
“··· a component of medical and health research
intended to produce knowledge essential for
understanding human disease, preventing and
treating illness. Clinical research embraces a
continuum of studies involving interaction with
patients, clinical materials or data, or population
···”
-a broad definition from AAMC (Association of American Medical
Colleges) Task Force on Clinical Research (2000)
Medical Research Questions
What is the problem (Symptomatology)
How big is the problem (Incidence)
What is the cause or mechanism
(Pathophysiology)
How can we diagnoses (Diagnosis)
What is the therapy (Treatment)
What is the prognosis (Prognosis, Outcome)
Quality assurance/control (Quality of Life)

 Genome screen to detect linkage to intracranial aneurysm susceptibility
genes. The Familial Intracranial Aneurysm Study. Stroke (Pathophysiology,
Incidence)
 Predictors and outcomes of intraprocedural rupture in patients treated for
ruptured intracranial aneurysms. The CARAT study. Stroke (Prognosis)
 Guidelines for the surgical treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Writing models for beginners (I)
Interest: Literature review and Idea
Diversity of Topic and Communication
기초-임상, 임상분야
Bench marking
Database: primary or secondary
Writing models for beginners (II)
Difficult to write an original article
Leading models appropriate for neophyte writers:
review articles, case reports, editorials, letters,
book reviews
Case reports: So what? And where will my
article be published?
Some Suggestions
Choose a target journal(s) and write for it
Choose a clear message
Achieve high quality in your writing
Respond to reviewer’s comments
Deal with the editors
R.Brian Haynes et al. Clinical Epidemiology-How to Do Clinical Practice
Research. 3rd ed. LWW 2005
Determinants of Publication
Interest to target audience
Rejection rate
Recent publication on the topic
Whether the findings are “positive” or “negative”
Whether the findings are newsworthy in editor’s
view
Who your article is sent to as reviewers
How well you have written the article
Choose a target Journal
Top journals vs. lower status journals
Top 5 general medical journals: NEJM, Lancet,
JAMA, BMJ, Ann Intern Med
Categories of journals
-General journals
-Subspecialty journals
Top Journal
Well planned, Well implemented + Good Luck
시간이 촉박하지 않다면, rejection rate이 높은
journal에 도전 가능
Top journals
-Accept되지 않을 가능성이 높다
-Review process가 빠른 편이다(빠르면 수시간,
대부분 3개월 내)
-Review comment가 논문 수준을 높이는데
도움을 줄 수 있음
- 글자수 제한이 매우 엄격함
Top journal or lower journal?
If you are feeling patient, and several
rejections will not hurt your ego, aim top
(high) journals.
If impatience and vulnerability characterize
your psychological state, choose a lower
status journal more likely to accept your
paper on first submission.

Cover Letter
Dear Editor,
I would like to submit our article entitled “Endovascular treatment of intracranial vertebral artery
dissections with stents and/or detachable coils” to be considered for publication in your journal. In this
manuscript, we are reporting the efficacy and limitations of endovascular treatment with stents and/or
detachable coils for intracranial vertebral artery dissections. Occlusion of the dissection site or proximal
occlusion with detachable coils is the current method of choice to prevent subsequent rupture in the
acute stage. The use of stents with or without detachable coils in the treatment for the ruptured
dissecting pseudoaneurysms seems to be fascinating, however, it may not be sufficient therapy in the
acute stage. These methods are useful in treating the unruptured dissecting aneurysms and ruptured
dissecting aneurysms in the subacute or chronic stage after the wall of the lesion becomes stable. Due to
these reasons, we hope that our manuscript to be carefully read and found suitable for publication in
American Journal of Neuroradiology.
