의학연구에 있어서 Bibliographical Reference의 활용과 그 정리에 관한 연구

Abstract

Progress in medical science is largely rely on experiment and research, in which the part played by the library is comparable in imparlance with that of the research laboratory. No responsible medical research is recognized to advance what he concerns to be a new development until he has explore the existing literature all the same or related subjects. It is, therefore. essential that the efficient medical inforrnation should be easily and rapidly accessible to the medical researchers. Nevertheless, although the medical literature is adequately available, the medical researcher docs not always able to fully utilize it. The quality of medical research depends mainly upon the systematic collection of data to be used in support of the author's research work from the bcg ining to interpretation and conclusions at the cud. Inevitably, most of the referential information collected will come from printed materials, and the author is expected to construct these materials as an indication of his information sources for his research, Bibliographical reference and footnote citation give the detailed identification of all works consulted. Thus, it is an important that a fair knowledge of the principles of citation and a complete notation of reference arc required. The present paper is aimed at providing formal instruction to the medical researcher in the usc of existing medical literatures. As summary, the present paper is focused as follows: 1. The methodological tools for the reference investigation were introduced. 2. The forms described under bibliographical references are adopted in different entries of references on books and articles. 3. It is also described the footnote forms recommended for medical research paper, in which all essential information for the identification of footnote citation arc obtained.
