From www.medepi.com: A health professions career that includes inquiry, innovation, or discovery often includes the preparation of manuscripts for peer-review publication. The most enduring way for our work to have an impact is through publication. The purpose of this mini-review is to kick-start your manuscript preparation by reviewing what key questions to answer concisely in your manuscript. Brevity and conciseness rules the day — remember, this is not creative writing!
