Epidemiological studies in the work of young scientists. Good publication practices
Journal Title: Medical Science Pulse - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Epidemiological studies hold a significant position in the research conducted by young scientists. One of the key aims of establishing the epidemiology of non-communicable diseases is studying the incidence of features of states and events connected with health in specified populations. This in turn is closely connected with the assessment of factors affecting health, which is the basis of information used by health care providers and other institutions. Apart from planning and conducting studies, a young scientist has to describe and publish their results. Only a full publication in a peer-reviewed journal represents the highest scientific value. This paper presents epidemiology as a science and methodology by using definitions, classifications and main goals. The short depiction presents epidemiology as a tool for assessing the health of a society and describes the main good practices for publishing the results of epidemiological studies.
