“…Although it is important to provide a background and cite the main scientific contributions, improper citations and judgments of the overall knowledge can jeopardize the introduction section. 3 The third observation is called the "however argument" or "gap", which might be one of the most relevant issues related to the introduction. The author should point out the limitations of the available evidence and present the literature gap to the readers.…”

Intentionally flawed manuscripts as means for teaching students to critically evaluate scientific papers

As future scientists, university students need to learn how to avoid making errors in their own manuscripts, as well as how to identify flaws in papers published by their peers. Here we describe a novel approach on how to promote students' ability to critically evaluate scientific articles. The exercise is based on instructing teams of students to write intentionally flawed manuscripts describing the results of simple experiments. The teams are supervised by instructors advising the students during manuscript writing, choosing the 'appropriate' errors, monitoring the identification of errors made by the other team and evaluating the strength of their arguments in support of the identified errors. We have compared the effectiveness of the method with a journal club-type seminar. Based on the results of our assessment we propose that the described seminar may effectively complement the existing approaches to teach critical scientific thinking.

Una de las habilidades que más requiere ser fortalecida en el área médica es la difusión de conocimiento, por tal motivo, es necesario brindar elementos que promuevan la capacitación en redacción científica. Identificar cuáles son los problemas más comunes al redactar artículos médicos originales para su publicación proporcionará recursos útiles que contribuyan a la generación de conocimiento. Existen diversos motivos que intervienen para que un artículo original no sea aceptado en una revista médica, entre los que destacan falta de apego a las instrucciones para autores, problemas metodológicos y de diseño, así como de estructura, sin embargo, el aspecto que más influye y pocas veces se señala, es la redacción inadecuada de los escritos de investigación, la cual se hace patente en las diferentes secciones que componen los manuscritos. Todos los factores mencionados son responsabilidad de los autores, por lo que deben ser atendidos apropiadamente. El presente escrito tiene como objetivo señalar los errores más comunes al redactar escritos médicos originales, los cuales, de ser evitados, incrementarán la posibilidad de que sus trabajos de investigación sean aceptados para su publicación.
