摘要简要叙述论文的内容,扼要说明研究什么问题以及科研取得的结果,是对整个论文主要内容的概括和总结川,是科技论文的重要组成部分。既是科技论文内容及基木思想的高度浓缩,也是编辑或读者决定文章取舍、相关数据库进行信息情报检索和决定刊物收录文章的重要依据。现在很多科技期刊为提升其国际影响力、促进国际间的学术交流,还要求每篇文章要有英文摘要。由于对大多数作者而言英语非母语,很难直接用英文来思考和写作,故在撰写英文摘要时,常常出现各种各样的问题,如中文式的表达、时态选择错误、医学术语表达不专业、逻辑混乱、读者和编辑无法看懂等。笔者结合《现代临床护理》杂志近年来所投稿件英文摘要撰写的实际情况,总结了规范的英文写作要点。现报道如下。
1摘要的类型
摘要分为传统型或非结构式(non-structured和结构式(structured)两大类型。结构式摘要又分为全结构式和半结构式两种类型。半结构式摘要也称为四要素摘要,包括目的、方法、结果和结论。全结构式摘要包括目的、设计、地点、对象、处理、主要测定项目、结果和结论8个要素。与半结构式摘要相比,全结构式摘要观点更明确、信息量更大,但却繁琐、重复、篇幅过长,而且不是所有的研究都按这个8个要素分类[2]。因此当前更多杂志对于研究类的论文多采用半结构式摘要。《现代临床护理》杂志刊登论文的英文摘要一般均采用半结构式,即按目的、方法、结果、结论四段式进行书写。
